A farmer in Cheshire, England, was left scratching his head after a local walker posted a letter of complaint through the door.

The ranting rambler was sounding off about cattle standing too near the gate in the farmer’s field.

The letter demanded the cows be “secured” to allow walkers to tramp all over the grass – on a private farm field.

Walkers have the right to roam in the UK, but they must not cause any damage. Traffic on farm paths and walkways has rocketed since lockdown began, as walking was one of the few permitted options for leaving your home.

Some farmers were happy to play tour guide, giving explanations of their field work to passersby. But this particular harping hiker wasn’t happy with farmers feeding the nation, educating the public and looking after the environment – he also wanted the farms turned into pleasure parks too.
