Westernhope Moor

Hill, Mountain in Durham

England

Westernhope Moor

Moorland on north-west slope of Outberry Plain The density of heather on the north-eastern moorland slope of Outberry Plain increases with height but here, at around 600m cotton grass is the more eye-catching vegetation. Snowhope Hill is the flat top on the centre horizon. (Note: Cotton grasses, despite the name are not grasses but sedges and to add to the complication there's not just the one species.)
