Burrough Hill Lidar

Burrough Hill lidar slope severity plot
I was surprised to see EA data at 0.5m centres available for this seemingly random block of Leicestershire countryside until I noticed this. So presumably this derives from the survey commissioned by the University of Leicester, although point density may have been somewhat higher in the original surveys to judge by that nice de-vegetated bare-earth model. Pleasing results from this nonetheless.
