Chloe’s account from last January
“Entered field via style – cows were present on far side of field. Dog on lead and very well behaved, no barking or threat. Cows charged from far end of field and pushed us into hedge. Cows pawing ground while we left field the same way we came in (slowly). Could not pass field, no detour possible due to layout of land and other cow fields. Had to backtrack and could not complete out walk. Very scary, did not seem like they would stop when charging – I believe they only stopped because we were pushed basically inside of a bush.”
She adds “I wish cattle would not be kept on public rights of way. They should be fenced off from the footpath.”
