Many people make their way out into the Derbyshire hills to enjoy the purple heather in August. The cost of this explosion of vibrant colour for a few short weeks is the dull lifeless look that heather wears during the rest of the year, and if the moors have been managed to keep off trees and other 'undesirables', the view will be even more boring. But it doesn't have to be. 
On Blacka the place has been mostly unmanaged for many years, though the way SWT are going the parts of Blacka about which we can say that are reducing year by year. Still many views have not been influenced by their intrusiveness yet and there can be found visual treats greater than anything produced by the seasonal festival of purple on the grouse moors.
