NATURE'S OWN GARDEN…

#AB_FAV_LATE_SUMMER_EARLY_AUTUMN_

 

 

It is that time of year again.

BLOOMING HEATHER. Once you are in that area no matter where you walk or drive, it's just one awesome view after another.

The higher parts of the moors are largely cloaked in one of the best areas of heather moorland to be found in England if not the UK.

By early Autumn, the area becomes a sea of purple blooms for a few weeks.

Nature's own garden...

Heather moorland is rare on a worldwide scale – there is probably less heather moorland in the world than tropical rainforest.

Around 70% of the world's heather moorland is in the UK and the largest continuous expanse of moorland in England and Wales is here in the North York Moors.

Moorland covers a third of the North York Moors National Park and most of the higher ground is covered in heather.

Unenclosed and unsurpassed, this stunning landscape responds sensitively to the changing seasons and has a quiet drama all of its own.

In early summer you’ll hear the call of the moorland birds, such as the red grouse, curlew and golden plover.

Later, as the summer evenings draw in, the flowering heather turns the moors into a purple carpet that stretches for mile after mile.

 

Thanks for viewing, M, (*_*)
