Nature show

Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), June 23, 2009

NATURE lovers are being reminded of the treats at Northumberland National Park.

Officials say the haymeadows there are now in full bloom.

A spokesman said: "Meadows with hundreds of flowers can be enjoyed in the Upper Coquet Valley, in the North Tyne Valley and at Greenlee Lough National Nature Reserve north of Hadrian's Wall.

"Upland hay meadows are rare and Northumberland National Park has some of the best in Europe.'' One of the best spots is at Barrowburn Farm where the haymeadows include lavender-blue wood cranesbill and the white umbels of pignut among many other species of flower, grass and moss.
