This one had me puzzled as it looked like Common Catsear but was massive, with a really luxuriant growth of leaves. I asked for a second opinion on Twitter and several botanists agreed that that is what it was.

Lovely blog, great photos, worth getting a soaking for. Stayed dry in Kent, but I only managed around 30 species in total today.
I see your council really don't want you to park where the Red Valerian was found, Double Double yellow lines!
Dave
Thanks Dave. I didn't notice the double, double yellow lines at the time. Too busy fending of a local resident asking me what I was up to. That's Sidmouth though!
