Joined friends for a walk in the Cheviots this weekend, which handily took in Barrowburn Hay Meadows SSSI. These are some of the last remaining traditionally managed species-rich hay meadows in Northumberland. As well as the meadows the upland fells are rich in teeny flowers at the moment too. An embarrassment of botanical riches and stunningly beautiful views await anyone who ventures this far up the dale.
