Derbyshire includes the Peak District, which is a popular destination for people in a number of nearby large towns and cities.

A big part of why we have a lockdown is because of people heading off to places like the Monsal Trail en masse. Something that's even more popular when everything else has shut down. If everyone has the same ideas about heading off to the Peak District then it very quickly defeats the whole object of social distancing.

So I do understand why Derbyshire Police are concerned about people driving out to the Peak District for their daily exercise.
