A vet who was trampled to death by a herd of cows as she walked her dogs in the Dales has been named.
Liz Crowsley, 49, from the Warrington area, was believed to have been on a weekend break in Wensleydale when the accident happened as she walked her pets on a stretch of the Pennine Way, outside the hamlet of Gayle, near Hawes.
It is thought she may have been trying to protect her two pet dogs, who escaped injury and were found running free near her body.
North Yorkshire Police said the herd of cattle and calves became aggressive after seeing the woman's brown and white spaniel and collie-type dog as they were being walked on leads through a field.
A spokesman said officers were called at about 12.20pm on Sunday after reports of a 'commotion' in the field
