It is Injica, I love to go there as it is so quiet and peaceful as not many people know its there but it is cared for by one of our wildlife trusts and has hundreds of different species growing wild across its large meadows :-)
wow must be a wonderful place!
The meadow was literally covered with over 300 of these beauties!
