Aylsham pig farmer says roaming pigs are good fun

A Norfolk farmer whose pigs have become notorious for roaming through Aylsham says the animals are good fun and a positive part of the community.

The pigs, owned by D.W. Philby & Sons, often wander from fields near Marriott's Way, through the farm of Lane's fence tampering and walkers ignoring the countryside code.

He says the animals will be relocated next week. Some residents, however, say the roaming pigs can be dangerous and block parts of the footpath.
