DEVON holidaymaker’s footage went viral as he filmed the scene after a disgruntled farmer sprayed dozens of day-trippers’ cars with slurry when they illegally parked on a field in the Lake District.

Footage shows at least 20 vehicles, which had parked on private land near Rydal Water in Cumbria on Tuesday covered in muck.

The spot is a stone’s throw away from the stunning lake and nearby Rydal Mount where the poet William Wordsworth lived from 1813 until his death in 1850.

At the start of the video a sign is visible which reads “Polite Notice - do not park in the field” and above is another sign which says “Sheep in field”.

One particular car, a Black Mercedes, appears to have been drenched in the slurry, while other fuming owners can be seen assessing the damage.

Other luxury cars like Jaguars and BMWs were also covered in the incident, which has been dubbed “countryside karma”.

Parking at the beauty spot has been a long-standing issue with further pressure piled on during the bank holiday and summer periods.
