Burghley Park closes due to high winds

The strong winds across Stamford and Rutland today have led to the closure of Burghley Park.

Staff are hoping it'll be open as normal tomorrow.

A yellow warning is in place until this evening.

The Met Office says: "Strong and gusty southwesterly winds may lead to some disruption, particularly for prone high-sided vehicles."

"What to expect:

• "Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely

• "Some short term loss of power and other services is possible

• "Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely and damage to trees is also likely

• "Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer"
