Small colour, big impact


The lovely Pennine hills turn purple in August (and September since we're a little late this year). It's all thanks to the tiny little flowers of the moorland heather. The effect is stunning! 

The landscape transforms from a bleak no-mans-land into a carpet of bouncy purple shrubs.  The best time to see it is in the late evening sunshine when the hills appear to glow - it makes my heart sing!
