Holderness, Eastern Arable
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
Holderness is a low-lying, predominantly flat or gently undulating plateau of high-quality agricultural land used for large-scale arable farming and intensive livestock production. There are many glacial features in the landscape and the cliff coast is rapidly eroding. There is sparse tree and woodland cover and dispersed settlement in a generally flat landscape. The landscape is predominantly arable and horticultural, with agriculture accounting for 83% of land cover. Of the area, 7% is defined as urban and only 1% is woodland.
