Land Cover Map 2024

Land Cover Map 2024 (LCM2024) is a suite of datasets (raster, polygon and csv) describing the UK land surface in 2024. They were produced at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology by classifying satellite images from 2024.

LCM2024 includes a new land cover statistics data set, with both vector (spatial) and csv versions, plus four geospatial datasets each for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, specifically:

- 10 m Classified Pixel dataset, classified to create a single mosaic of national cover
- Land Parcel datasets (vector data) which are the result of intersecting the 10 m Classified Pixel dataset with the UKCEH Land Parcel Spatial Framework to generate land parcel attributes
- 25 m Pixel Rasterised Land Parcel datasets: the result of rasterising the Land Parcel dataset into 25 m pixels
- 1 km summary raster products, summarising dominant land cover class and percentage coverage of each land cover class

LCM2024 is the twelfth UK land cover map produced by UKCEH. Previous versions are LCM1990, 2000, 2007, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
