Sea thrift, sea campion and sea kale are obvious choices.
There are bluebells in the verges, bubble-gum pink sea thrift on the cliffs, saffron-yellow gorse everywhere and, as we walked a track too stony for cantering, a curlew shot up into the air and hovered above like a tiny helicopter.
Also lines of the pink sea thrift edging needs replacing with a better plant that is not eaten by rabbits,and I can see a patch of Yew hedging looking thin and yellow infected by disease.
