A farming company has appeared in court charged with health and safety offences after a primary school teacher was trampled to death by a stampeding cow.

Marian Clode, 61, died while on an Easter break in Northumberland with her family on April 3, 2016.  

They were staying at a holiday cottage at Swinhoe Farm, around two miles north west of Belford.

An inquest into her death heard how they had been walking along a public bridle path when around 15 cows and their calves surged from a holding pen.

Mrs Clode, who was born in Derry but lived in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, was injured by one of the charging animals.
