LCT 8: Wooded Limestone Ridges

The Wooded Limestone Ridges LCT is found in two areas within
Herefordshire. The north-south ridge of the Malvern Hills along the county’s
eastern boundary and the north-west to south-east ridge of Woolhope Dome
and Marcle Ridge, which extends across the county border to May Hill in
Gloucestershire. This landscape type is defined by the extent of the underlying
bedrock of Silurian limestone and sandstone, its elevated topography rising
from the lowlands.
