High Leicestershire, Chalk and Limestone Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
High Leicestershire is a landscape of broad, rolling ridges and secluded valleys with a quiet, rural character. To the south and east are the limestone lowlands of the Northamptonshire and Leicestershire vales and to the north and east the area abuts the Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds. This is an open landscape which is only 3% wooded – the majority of the area is arable land. It is also deeply rural with only 2.5% of the Character Area classified as ‘urban’.
