The three English Longhorn cows currently grazing in Wanstead Park were relocated from the dried-out lakebed of Ornamental Water to nearby grassland on The Glade last month.

“Due to a lack of rain, vegetation on the lakebed hasn’t grown as much as we hoped, so we moved the cows to ensure they have plenty of grazing. We hope to welcome them back to Ornamental Water soon,” said a City of London Corporation spokesperson.

Visitors are reminded to keep a safe distance from the cows and to ensure dogs are under control.
