Named after its long, narrow, willow like leaves, the willow-herb grows as an upright spike covered with pink flowers. Rosebay willow-herb, or fireweed, was a rare native species which suddenly began to spread in about 1860, perhaps as a result of genetic change; it is now everywhere, except the far west of Ireland, and is abundant on waste land round towns, in cleared woodland and road side verges. Here it is growing in a rough grazing field beside the railway embankment. This field often floods.

The gate allows access to the footpath that leads from Court Street to The Avenue, the trees on the left line the bank of the River Nadder.

The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude.
