Site Event/Activity record ECH5934 - The Cheshire Historic Landscape Characterisation Project

A project undertaken as part of a national programme developed and funded by English Heritage and encompassing Cheshire, Warrington, Halton and the Wirral. It sought to identify key historic landscape types and draw up recommendations for their future management. In addition the project has created a wide data set which can be used as a starting point for research into Cheshire’s historic landscape. The HLC Project Report presents the background to the project and an overview of the development of the project area's landscape. It also presents the HLC Classification developed for the project area and management recommendations made to preserve and enhance its Historic Landscape Character. The HLC Project Appendix (the Appendix to the HLC Project Report) contains the Project's Methodology, detailed statistics and further information on the GIS Dataset created by the project. Managing Historic Landscapes is a gazetteer and summary of the HLC Classification and the management recommendations made by the project. The CHER database holds the live data and GIS dataset.
