The site is of special interest for its
unimproved acid grassland, with associated marshy grassland, acid
bog and swamp vegetation. This is a good example of lowland acid
grassland, showing considerable variation across the site and
supporting a wide variety of plants. A variety of associated
wetland habitats provide additional interest.
