Found on the downs above Swanage, Dorset last weekend. Might it be Calamint?

The leaves were fragrant minty when crushed.





Thanks in advance

Alison, yes Common Calamint - Clinopodium ascendens, in what sounds like a typical habitat.
Always flowers mid to late summer. Nice plant.

Thanks Dorts

........and thanks to your advice in another post to always smell the leaves, I gave this find a closer look after having at 1st thought it was a pale version of Black Horehound.
