Ulex europaeus
The eastern side of the site is protected from the prevailing westerly winds on the Atlantic meaning that less hardy plants are able to grow in areas of cliff scrub. Species include blackthorn ("Prunus spinosa") common gorse ("Ulex europaeus"), wild privet ("Ligustrum vulgare") as well as more woodland plants of common dog-violet ("Viola riviniana"), common honeysuckle ("Lonicera periclymenum"), hart's-tongue ("Phyllitis scolopendrium") and red campion ("Silene dioica").
