Cows stopped walk

A family walk in the woods above Cheltenham this morning had to be curtailed when our circular footpath was occupied by a large herd of cattle.

A discussion ensued, and this info on cattle incidents was looked up on our safe return, by an alternative route!

“Between 2015-16 and 2019-2020 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigated 142 cattle incidents. Only 22 of them resulted in a death and the majority related to people who worked with cattle. Members of the public accounted for only four of those deaths, the HSE confirmed.”

The sun came out in the afternoon. We also heard some encouraging news on progress with our house purchase here from our solicitor.
