The Weardale Way is a 74 mile-long footpath hat follows the river Wear from its catchment at Cowshill in Upper Weardale to its confluence with the North Sea at Sunderland.
Super - I didn’t know that Darwin had written about Toothwort. I shall have to go out now and find Bethlehem, i have never seen any and probably won’t today but I will enjoy looking for them
Thanks Phil, interesting as always. The ants are busy in our garden, I have sweet violets popping up, especially in my pots of hostas and agapanthus. They complement the emerging shoots of hostas rather fetchingly.

This was a really interesting and enjoyable read. Thanks Phil!

Those photographs! Made me realise I should look more closely. Thank you!
Thanks Phil, always interesting and loving the photos.
Lots of toothwort up the Lonning and around the corner, plenty of dog violets too. But no sweet violets, not under the hedgerows anyway.
