It's difficult to say. My monkshood, or Aconitum is very much like a delphinium with loads of flowers and your picture doesn't look like the shape of the hood that it's named after. I shall investigate and meanwhile someone else will identify it. Is this picture upside down?

Must be mistaken then - sorry. i was thinking about the wild one rather than the garden ones if that makes a difference.

I think you could be right Stera. If you google The Poison Garden, Weeducks, and type in Wild Aconitum, you will see it has been found growing wild in Cumbria which I believe is the next county to you. Don't worry if it is, I'm still here after all these years of growing it!

I found it in Derbyshire once in the Peak District- amazing and very beautiful.

Thank you everyone, knew I could rely on you! No, the picture isn't upside down as I checked assiduously (how's that for a big word this early in the day) only because it looks more like a hanging pouch than a cowl or hood. I also was doubting as there are only 2 flowers instead of a spike. I shall def look up The Poison Garden, Cammomile . Cheers

Allowing for the fact that the pic is upside down it certainly looks like it. Ipad pics often come out the wrong way up.
