Heather bloom makes 'purple haze' in the Peak District

Acres of bright, purple heather have started to bloom on moorland across the Peak District.

The moorland usually blazes into colour from August to October every year.

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust planning manager Keiron Huston said: "The reason that you're seeing that purple haze is because it's come in to flower.

"It looks great and I think it's certainly a good year."
