Angelica sylvestris
The underlying geology ensures that most of the site is well drained, favouring lime-loving plants – the calcicoles. There are, however, localised areas with poorer drainage and in which some lime-hating plants can be found – the calcifuges - such as bracken "Pteridium aquilinum", as well as plants associated with water-logged conditions such as common valerian "Valeriana officinalis" and wild angelica "Angelica sylvestris".
