Another walk around Feizor wood near to the village of Austwick for some late orchids, but absolutely nothing, this is definitely a spring- time wood and the only orchid that seems to grow there is the Early Purple Orchid of which there are hundreds.The end of the walk improved with a lovely show of summer flowers down a very pleasant flowery lane.
Austwick from Feizor wood
A few nice drifts of Betony
Through the trees the unmistakable shape of Pen-y-Ghent
Down amongst the Meadowsweet on the flowery lane
There were also plenty of the beautiful Giant Bellflower and Meadow Crane's-bill to add to the overall picture

Such beautiful views David. It's lovely to see the wildflowers growing naturally. The one with the Meadowsweet is amazing! I grew some from seed and have it planted in the garden.... I hope it eventually looks as wonderful as those in your photograph.
