The east-facing slope of Flass Vale is covered with oak trees, holly and elder with some patches of sycamore. Oak and sycamore cover the west-facing slope. The Flass Vale is a natural refuge for plants and animals. It also affords open SE views down the Vale toward Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle.
