The grassland communities present are of the Tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum) type showing elements of both the Meadow Oat-grass-wild thyme (Avenula pratensis)–(Thymus praecox) and the Knapweed-Rough Hawkbit (Centaurea nigra)–(Leontodon hispidus) variants.^[3]

The Tumps is also the name of an elevated area of woodland and open grassland in the southern outskirts of Bath, north of the Odd Down Sports Ground.^[4]
