POLICE tweeted some words of advice after sheep escaped from a field and into a car park in Bibury. 

The incident happened yesterday and a photo showed a mass of sheep standing in a car park after a gate to a nearby field was left open. 

Police advised ramblers to ensure gates to fields were shut.

They tweeted: "Going rambling? Make sure you shut the gate behind you, otherwise the sheep will escape as seen here in Bibury today!"
