Site of incident: A path on the fields surrounding Princess Helena College, School Lane, Preston, Hertfordshire, SG4 7RT. The co-ordinates for this (closed) school are 51 54′ 34″ N 0 16′ 58″ W. We entered the field at a gate on School Lane near St Albans Highway/Hitchwood Lane and exited further down School Lane near Crunnells Green.
On Monday 25th September My Dad, his friend and I were hiking in our local countryside with my dog Tabby. Tabby was on her lead at all times during the walk. Towards the end of the route we had to enter a field with some cows in. The cows were black and white and they were a herd of young animals. As we entered the field the cows were on the left of the field grazing beside the fence. We followed the designated footpath across the middle of the field. As we got closer to the cattle we started to walk wide of the path so we did not have to get too close to them.
