Sweet and Damp
The best stuff grows where no cows graze. Odd corners produce the most interest, so why can't we release the bovine shackles everywhere?
Tall and statuesque Angelica has found a home near the car park. It's unlikely however that it would thrive in other parts of the moor even if we returned it to unfarmed land. The nearby road will have been responsible for a quantity of limestone being present and sweetening the soil together with the water run-off which leaves this section permanently damp.
Those who favour experimenting with herbal remedies have been known to try this as a nature's cure for all sorts of problems from mouth ulcers to athlete's foot.
