Additionally, the spring months across the countryside are accompanied by the traditional sights and sounds of young farm animals, such as bleating lambs gambling happily in the lush grass. Cows and sheep will be pregnant or suckling young across Ilam Park, Dovedale and the White Peak. Dogs should always be on a lead around livestock, especially at this crucial time of year. If you ever feel threatened by cattle when out with your dog, then let go of the lead as the cattle are more likely to be interested in the dog. Help our countryside to be productive farmland as well as a home for wildlife by taking the lead.
By walking with your dog on the lead, you can be a guardian of the landscapes that you love. Protect our countryside for the future of people and wildlife.
