There’s a magic to the North York Moors at this time of year, and it’s not because the sun is typically beaming over it. Welcoming a dusting of violet tones every August, the new and colourful look can only mean one thing: heather season is here.
Late summer like clockwork the rugged landscape comes alive, and if you ask us, it’s the prettiest time to visit – especially if you’re a budding photographer.
Embellishing iconic scenes such as Roseberry Topping, Clay Bank and Levisham Moor, the Moors aren’t short of the purple stuff right now, and if you haven’t seen it just yet, we’ve rounded up our favourite photos of what it looks like right now.
