Upland Oak/Ash Woodland

Flintergill is an ancient woodland, sited on the steep valley side rising behind Dent Village. It has an interesting geological structure, exposed by the waterfall, which has influenced the vegetation of the wood. The lower slopes, lying on limestone, are mainly ash. Higher up, on the sandstone and shales, oak becomes the dominant species.

The woodland was open to livestock for many years and, because of this, much of the ground flora and many saplings have been grazed. The woodland has now been fenced off to prevent further damage.
