More information:

The Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds form part of a belt of Wold landscapes formed by gently dipping Jurassic rocks which stretch from the Cotswolds to Lincolnshire. The character area extends eastwards between Nottingham and Leicester and includes the large market town of Melton Mowbray. The Wolds are essentially a range of undulating hills, broken by vales and dominated by Jurassic scarp and dip slopes. It is a remote and rolling rural landscape with open, empty plateaux contrasting with the more intimate sheltered valleys and lower slopes.
