Route diversion: Route 24 and Route 25 (Longleat Estate)
Route 24 and Route 25 through the Longleat Estate in Wiltshire will be subject to a temporary diversion on Sunday 25 January between 7am and 2pm due to an event taking place on the estate.
The diversion will apply across the entire estate for the duration of the event. No suitable alternative route is available during this time.
Route users are asked to respect the temporary closure. Access through the Longleat Estate is granted by kind permission of the estate, and temporary closures form a condition of access.
