Yorkshire Moorland Heather Landscape Tapestry

Blooming heather stretching out across the moorland in Westerdale on the North York Moors during at the begining of Autumn. The stone wall leads across moorland fields to a footpath across the moors known as the Esk Valley Walk. Most of the common heather is also referred to as ling as was, in the past, burnt on the fires of moorland inhabitants. Many of the Yorkshire moors are now grouse moors which attract many to the field sport of grouse shooting.
