Historic Landscape Character Areas

Eleven distinct Historic Landscape Character Areas (HLCA) have been identified in the AONB. These have been identified through mapping the present day historic landscape character present in the AONB and the surviving evidence for historical development in the landscape.

Each HLCA is supported by a written description which encapsulates the main historical and archaeological characteristics present
