I'm not quite sure but I understand that in wales the police could fine a person for making an unnecessary journey (as long as its not to a garden centre or a golf club) and going further than 'Local', whatever the definition of that is, but now things are relaxed in England people can drive to parks beaches etc without let or hindrance.
So in theory one could drive over the bridge, go to the beach at Weston or somewhere. you may get stopped leaving but probably are more likely to get stopped entering Wales again, if at all. When you tell them what you have been doing the Police could fine you for making an unnecessary journey in Wales. It's silly.
