    It's one of the lichens that thrive in damp, compacted soil often in shade. Totally harmless. 

    If you don't want it there, dig it out , and infill with mortar or gravel. If you want to grow something else in the gaps, dig out, improve the drainage and plant something you like. Ajuga would be a possibility. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
