Cromford paw print sparks new Derbyshire big cat claims

Published Date: 20 March 2009A GIANT paw print has been found in the Dales prompting more speculation big cats are roaming the countryside.

Resident Brian Smith came across the latest print near to Black Rocks in Cromford, while out walking his dog.

The marking measured four-inches and was discovered in open ground next to a public footpath.

Mr Smith said: "I've never seen anything like it before but I've heard people talking about big cats.

"I compared it to my dogs paw print and it was much bigger."

In January a three-inch wide print was spotted by Wirksworth farmer Peter Ward, of Barrel Farm, Millers Green.

He found the print on land near where he kept the cattle and after doing some research believed the markings were similar to those of a puma.

He reported his finding to the police and the British Big Cats' Society.
