With plenty of the UK in tiers 1 and 2 and strong encouragement from all corners to keep Christmas interactions to outdoor meetups wherever possible, some of us are able to think about getting out of town on an off peak train to blow off the corona cobwebs in the Great Outdoors. Here are some of our favourite day trips to make by train, from national parks to nature reserves and canals to the coast. We don’t advise travel from Very High risk areas even during the Christmas easing, since trains are likely to be busy.
