Abstract: |
The Humberhead Levels is a low-lying agricultural landscape including the floodplains of a number of rivers which drain into the Humber Estuary. Isolated pockets of high ground exist throughout the Character Area on outcroppings of bedrock or gravel terraces. The land is intensively farmed and is characterised by large, open, rectilinear fields usually divided by ditches rather than hedgerows. There is a mix of built-up areas, industrial land and dereliction, and farmed open country. Approximately 7% is classed as urban, 78% is agricultural and 4% is woodland. |
