Hi easyr17.

The first one is Rest-harrow Ononis repens.

Hi easyr17.

The second looks like Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum).

It isn't Herb Robert. Not totally sure on ID, but fairly confident they are leaves of an umbel, possibly Rough Chervil, Chaerophyllum temulum?

I agree with rest harrow.

The second is more tricky but it's not herb robert. Rough chervil is more likely

I recall finding rest harrow at the foot of Penshaw Hill last year and got ID from the forum. In the bit of research I did it indicated that the plant apparently got its name because the root system would stop a harrow - although that was probably in the days of horse drawn farming implements.

Agree the first is Rest Harrow and the second maybe Rough Chervil

thanks to everyone for the id. This is such a great website with expert knowledge.

now i will know restharrow and, most likely rough chervil, in my future walks.

Another possibility for 2. is Bur Chevril, Anthriscus caucalis

Wasn't sure if the umbellate flower in the picture was just edging in from the side. Looking closer, it seems it is part of the plant of course
