Goats used as eco-friendly churchyard lawn mowers

Goats have been introduced as an eco-friendly way of keeping a churchyard in shape.

Narberth Town Council in Pembrokeshire is trialling using the animals at St Andrew's Church to clear excess growth around gravestones and across the site.

The goats come from a business believed to be the only one of its type in the UK which provides the service for the council as well as for a national park and other local churches.

The goats are kept in their designated areas using GPS satellite technology recently shown on Clarkson's Farm, the farming programme of presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
