There are many who like the way the heather completely colours the high land in August. That compensates somewhat for the months of drab and characterless smoothness dominating the uplands of this region for the rest of the year. I have to admit I would willingly swap all that for more trees on the hills present throughout the year. Whenever I see large swathes of manily one crop I'm reminded of the large prairie like fields in eastern and southern England where the grain barons have removed the hedges in the interests of profit and efficiency. But heather can be beautiful close up and mixed with other features.
