Charnwood, Western Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
Charnwood is a distinctive ‘upland’ landscape, in striking contrast to the surrounding vales, with heathlands, stone outcrops, and woodlands. Situated between Coalville, Loughborough and Leicester, it is on the fringe of a series of several urban areas but retains a rural, remote character. The area is 17.1% urban. It is a relatively well-wooded landscape with 10.6% woodland. The western part of Charnwood is within the National Forest.
