Stopped walking on a public path due to cattle encounter

Incident number: 826

Location: Public walk behind Otter (before reaching Spriddlestone ) in Brixton, Plymouth, Devon

May’s Story: I was walking on my own without a dog when I saw a group of cows on the public walk that goes across the field, so I tried to walk around them. Good luck I wasn’t too close because suddenly two red cows started running towards me. I ran back to the gate as fast as I could and the cows crashed hard into the fence. It was very hurtful and I’m traumatized.

May says “I don’t go back to that route no more. It’s scared me senseless even just seeing a sheep nowadays. The farmer shouldn’t have cows and calves on public walk at the same time.”
