Not to boast, but we have one of the UK’s rarest trees hidden in the cracks of our scree cliff face. Sorbus Anglic – a type of Whitebeam – is found here, part of fewer than 250 specimens in existence.
The peat base we have underneath our moorland is perhaps our most important asset. Peat creates a fantastically rich environment for many plant and animal species, but is a fragile component of our landscape once vegetation is lost.
