Long anticipated, The Amberley Cow Hunt is back this weekend and we had a great Saturday hunting cows and eating cakes. My children asked me to take lots of photos of their favourite cows and helped me to create this A to Z guide to Amberley Cow Hunt.

C is for Cow Hunt, Cakes and Common – the essence of this event! C is also for Cowslip and Cowslips, lots of them on the common!

D is for Despicable Moo, Dairy, Dairy Quite Contrary and Dandy Dexter – just some of the wonderfully dressed cows you can find.
