POLICE slapped "multiple fines" on people breaching the Covid restrictions at a Somerset beauty spot at the weekend.
The offenders were caught in groups of more than two at Cheddar Gorge on Saturday evening.
A spokesperson for Sedgemoor and Hinkley Point Neighbourhood Policing team said: "Police issued multiple Covid warnings and fines at Cheddar Gorge on Saturday evening.
"Please remember that we are not out of lockdown yet.
"Until Monday (today) the rules still only allow for two people to meet in an outdoor public space.
"From Monday, up to six people or two families can meet in an outdoor public space but the Government advice is that you should still 'stay local', which is defined as staying within your village, town or part of a city where you live."
