Historic Landscape Characterisation Project


Extract from the AONB HLC This website started as a result of a project to create an Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) for the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

This formed part of a national programme sponsored by English Heritage and undertaken by the AONB partnership.

The project ran for 18 months between January 2007 and June 2008.

See the English Heritage Website for more information on the HLC programme.
