Following their absence last year we are hoping that cattle will once again join the ponies on the common for the next few months, possibly arriving in April or May. Cattle will compliment the conservation grazing carried out by our ponies, with the aim of maintaining a diverse sward of heathland vegetation and preventing the more vigorous plant species from dominating.
As always, please observe the following rules:
– Do not attempt to touch or feed the animals
– Dogs should be kept under close control at all times
Thank you for your cooperation.
