A primary school teacher was killed by a cow when an “entirely uncontrolled” herd of cattle was allowed to run free on a public bridleway, a court has heard.

Marian Clode, 61, was on an Easter break in Northumberland in April 2016 and walking with her family when the runaway cow charged at her and attacked her three times. She died days later in hospital, having suffered a severe spinal cord injury in the fall.
