Heather in September


August to September is the best time to see heather out in bloom. There are three common heather species, Cross-leaved heath, Bell heather and Ling, all of which can be found on the open heaths of the New Forest. This weekend I went to Beaulieu Heath in the Forest, which was covered in purple heather from all three species.
