    Yarrow?

    Can anyone help me identify this plant?
    I thought it was yarrow, but doubtful now.
    In one of the pictures there is a beech nut on a stick, to give you some idea of size. The flowers were white or mauve/purple.
    I'm sure I've seen this plant identified somewhere before and would love to know what it is, and uses.
    Anyway, here's some piccies (unless I suffer the curse of the little red crosses...)
    Thanks for any help.

    Looks like heather/ling (calluna vulgaris) to me.

    Heather.
    Yes, I think you're right.
    And I was just starting to think I may be learning a thing or two. That'll teach me.
