Bristol, Avon Valleys and Ridges Western Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
This area is flanked by the Somerset Levels and Moors and the Mendip Hills to the south, the Cotswolds to the east and the Severn and Avon Vales to the west, separating it from the Severn Estuary. It has a complex geology and settlement pattern, strongly influenced by the Avon Valley and Bristol at its centre. Over 21% of the land is urban, 56% is cultivated and 6% is woodland. This Character Area has little ‘common character’ and has been identified more as a result of ‘exclusions’ from other Character Areas.
