The almost vertical sandstone cliffs and peaks are a dominant feature of the RBT's scenery. Self-seeded pinewoods, in the form of stunted, twisted Pinus sylvestris, grow on these rocky platforms.



These pinewoods growing on a slab of rock provide protection for a range of remarkable mosses and lichens with a strong Nordic affinity.

A number of specific plants such as Asplenium billotti, an Atlantic variety, Asplenium Adianthum-nigrum and Fir Clubmoss also grow on the vertical faces of the rock.
