I often find this delicate little fern on or near basic rocks like limestone but there is a sub species which prefers acidic conditions too (ssp trichomanes). It is fairly common both in rocky countryside and in built up areas. This one is probably ssp quadrivalens as the rocks in these parts are basic.
