Off Stanpit, old rubbish tip, now part of the recreation ground & nature reserve. Interestingly, contains plants that would not normally be found in this habitat, perhaps because of soil tipped here: Traveller's joy (in hedge, to left), Autumn lady's tresses, Bloody cranesbill, Salad burnet. Visible here: Birdsfoot trefoil (yellow), Common centaury (pink). New-build housing in the background.
