Pre-booked slots to visit Cliveden and Stowe have sold out already - even though their reopening was only announced today.

The National Trust has announced a phased reopening of its gardens and parklands in England next week, with advance booking needed to limit numbers and maintain public safety.

Cliveden in nearby Taplow and Stowe, which is further up the county near Buckingham, are the only ones in Bucks to be reopening from June 3.

However, if you haven't managed to secure a ticket already, there is probably no point trying now - as when we checked the booking site at 10.45am, all slots have sold out already.

It's not clear how many people are allowed in for each session, but the National Trust was offering slots every half and hour between 10am and 4pm on June 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

There are no time limits for how long you can stay once you are in the grounds, but you have to arrive within your half an hour slot.
