The Lowland Farmlands LCT is defined by the extent of the open low-lying
’basin’ in the centre of the county. Its boundaries are marked by the change to
the more wooded landcover and undulating topography of the surrounding
wooded farmland and hills. The LCT is interrupted by the wide River
Floodplains (LCT 1) that cross the landscape and Wooded Sandstone Hills
(LCT 12) that rise steeply above the central plain.
