This is a Geranium which we don't see a great deal of in the acid sandstone plains of Cheshire but in Teesdale where this was photographed it was one of the commonest plants. It is a particularly attractive Crane's-bill with good-sized flowers and usually plenty of them on tall plants.

There is very little of this plant to be found in Southern England or in the Midlands. It is a plant of the north with large numbers in northern England and in most except the far north of Scotland. There is only a little in Ireland on the east coast of Northern Ireland.
