RE’s story
“We were coming through Cliff Ridge Wood walking northwest direction, came to a lane going west towards Quarry House, soon turned (before the railway) north to walk through a couple of fields on a public footpath, in order to get back to Newton-u-R.
Once we got onto the field, a group of a dozen or so bullocks started following us, came very close and the leader was jumping in the air as if to charge. We managed to keep them at bay by waving our walking poles and my husband was walking backwards to stare at them. We climbed over a stile to the next field and the same happened again as there was another group of bullocks. We managed to leave the second field unharmed but badly frightened.”
RE reported the later spoiled walk and being badly frightened on another walk South of Woodstock near Church Hanborough in Oxfordshire, going SW from Church Hanborough towards The Green. Fields south side of The Thrift wood and east side of Elm Farm.
RE wants “Separate footpaths from fields where cattle is being kept. Ideally, no cattle to be kept on fields where a footpath is going through.”
