A upland ramble through a wild heath of blooming furze (gorse), bracken ferns, purple heather, yellow broom, woodsage, and silver birch. In Celtic mythology, gorse carries the bright spark of the sun throughout the year lighting up the heart and bringing strength to thrive in tough conditions while warding off negative energies and protecting from harm.

Thy yellow blooms – oh, they to me Are gold and sunshine blent together – Moses Teggart 1908
