EXTREME weather will mean the national park centres in Grassington and Malham will be closed this weekend.

A spokesperson for the Yorkshire Dales National Park authority said three out of its five centres would be shut.

"Our Centres in Grassington, Malham and Reeth will be closed, as some of our team members are blocked from getting there by the snow and icy roads," said the spokesperson.

The car parks and connecting paths will be open, but visitors should be careful, as they will not be gritted or cleared of snow.

People are also warned to take extra care and wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
