Creating Historic Routeway Characterisations

The AONB has built on previous studies to develop a method derived from historic landscape characterisation which allow a network of routeways to be rapidly characterised and which also allow the rapid creation of a framework of historic and landscape understanding.

Any historic characterisation of routeways must therefore encompass the dual themes of present day historic landscape character and chronology or time depth.
