Wild Flowers

The sloping cliffs are covered in places by hawthorn and blackthorn. Wild flowers include two yellow-flowered umbellifers, Alexanders, an early flowering plant introduced by the romans and the aromatic fennel flowering from mid-summer.

 

Sea beet, sea purslane, sea sandwort and sea rocket grow along the foreshore, together with the unusual sea holly.

 

Silver ragwort a plant of Mediterranean origin is also now well established along this coast.
