Location: Angelsey: Walking to Mynydd Bodafon from Nan ty sebons across a large field Near Brynrefail
Liz and her dog Rosco were walking along this popular walk when 30 plus cows charged towards them at speed! Rosco had been on a lead and was calm so there was no real reason for them to charge. They moved quickly away from the footpath and managed to find a route away through undergrowth. Liz was very grazed and itchy after trampling through brambles and nettles to reach the path again and obviously very scared.
Liz says “I have problems with cows every week when I walk in Wales or England. They terrify me! They charge at speed towards me! Some farmers fence their cows away from footpath. Wish this was a legal requirement on public paths.

I agree that footpaths should be fenced off but I’m not sure that farmers should be responsible for that. I think there should be Goverment funding. There are footpath charities that might help with the work if the funds were available. If any other animal was causing so many problems there would be action.
