Lincolnshire Wolds Landscape Network: Landscape Report

This report addresses the Network’s aim to collate evidence to help understanding and appreciation of the interrelationships between the natural and historic environment. Taking the European Landscape Convention definition of landscape as a starting point it outlines the character of the Wolds and how the appearance of the landscape and its habitats have changed over historical time in relation to changing climates and human land-use. It seeks to emphasise both how these past landscape decisions can provide lessons in relation to current and future landscape change, and the need to consider the potential impacts of these decisions on the physical condition and accessibility of the historic environment. Enhancement of both heritage and nature in the Wolds landscape will depend on the sectors successfully working together to identify synchronicities and opportunities for mutual benefit.
