What lockdown looked like in Wales on Bank Holiday Monday
The majority of people were confined to their gardens due to the coronavirus lockdown
by Philip DeweyIt was another sunny Bank Holiday but the majority of people were confined to their gardens due to lockdown restrictions.
While a number of people headed out to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather, most places in Wales seemed eerily quiet having been packed with visitors on previous Bank Holidays.
While the UK Government has eased lockdown restrictions for those living in England, the Welsh Government has maintained that people should stay at home unless they need to make an essential journey.
In Wales, unlimited daily exercise is permitted but it must be solo or alongside members of your own household.
Gatherings with those from other households are not permitted and nor is unnecessary travel.
Cardiff Bay, which would have normally been swarming with people enjoying bars, restaurants and a walk along the barrage, was empty with only a handful of people walking around.
Roath Park was also sparse with a couple of people sunbathing here or there or enjoying a game of frisbee or football.
Normally the park would have seen hundreds of people dotted around or walking along Roath Park Lake.
And while thousands of people would have flocked to the coast to enjoy the sunny weather, both Porthcawl and Barry were uninhabited accept for a few sunbathers and the odd person going for a paddle in the water.
The same could be said of Aberavon beach, with beach walkers maintaining social distancing and a handful of joggers running along the promenade.
Llandudno promenade was also empty except for the odd dog walker while the beach itself with sunbathers few and far between.
And in the Brecon Beacons, where hundreds of people would have normally been making their way to the summit of Pen y Fan to get a selfie, measures were in place to prevent people from entering and those who got through told to leave by wardens.
The next Bank Holiday isn't until August 31 but there is no way of knowing of what the situation will be like then.
