Abstract
This data layer represents the amalgamated character areas of the Registered Landscapes of Outstanding and of Special Interest in Wales. The 58 Registered Landscapes were compiled jointly by Cadw, the Countryside Council for Wales (now part of Natural Resources Wales) and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), and encompass the physical remains of all aspects of human activities and exploitation in the past both above and below ground. The further characterisation of the Registered Historic Landscapes was undertaken by the Welsh Archaeological Trusts, who looked in detail at each landscape and divided them into areas of particular character. All grant funded woodland creation proposals require an assessment by the relevant Archaeological Trust. This data layer flags the presence of HLAs that are likely to be of interest. Appropriately designed woodland may be welcome in these areas. See GN002 for contact details and links to the relevant Welsh Archaeological Trust HLA web pages.
