A dog walker found a lethal spiked trap at a beauty spot popular with children and families.
The horrifying device - which he said 'could kill a small child' - appears to be a length of metal piping to which long nails have been welded.
He's now issued a warning to walkers and families using the area, saying there could be more of them buried beneath the land or left lying around. It's understood the site is also popular with horse riders.
