Cow found wandering around Harrogate's Valley Gardens
People enjoying the sunny weather in Harrogate's Valley Gardens today were shocked to stumble across a wandering cow.
Lucy Emma Renshaw-Martin was one of many dog walkers going about their morning routine at about 8.30am when she saw the beast.
It was casually ambling around the central section, appearing to head in the direction of the Magnesia Well Tea Room.
The cow heads towards the tea room.
Lucy managed to photograph the cow from distance and later got a more close-up image when she was safely behind the barriers on Valley Road.
She told the Stray Ferret she had no idea how the cow, which appears to be a Holstein or Friesian, ended up in the 17-acre gardens, which are not particularly close to any fields.
