Landscape Value

Approximately 13.5 ha of parkland in a visually prominent location helping to define the line of the Lincoln Edge, an important part of the character of the City. The site contains significant areas of mature woodland consisting of a mixture of hardwoods and conifers on the Burton Road frontage (a main approach to the City) and on its southern boundary. The remainder of the site consists of grassland with a dispersed pattern of mature trees. Together with West Cliff and the Old Quarry, the land helps to maintain a continuous link between the Lincoln Cliff Area of Great Landscape Value protected by West Lindsey District Council, which brings the open countryside and wildlife into the urban area as part of a proposed Green Wedge. The whole of the land is subject of the Burton Hall Tree Preservation Order 1951.
