This is why it is important that the animals are slaughtered as soon as the disease is discovered. When the disease was first reported many British visitor attractions, including National Trust properties, were closed. The latest government advice is that this was not necessary as the only necessary precautions are those that keep people away from livestock. Most visitor attractions remain open or will re-open in the near future. However, some attractions such as zoos and walking trails will stay closed for the duration of the outbreak.
Nobody can tell.
It will take one month from the last reported new case for the country to be clear of foot and mouth. No, there is no reason for most trips to be cancelled. The disease affects animals only and is confined to small areas of rural Britain and Ireland. Do seek advice, however, if you are planning to visit rural areas.
