Land Cover Map 2025 (LCM2025 - 10m classified pixels, N. Ireland)

This is a 10 m pixel dataset representing the land surface of Northern Ireland, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. It is a two-band raster in GeoTiff format. The first band gives the most likely land cover type; the second band gives the per-parcel probability of the land cover. A full description of this and all UKCEH LCM2025 products are available from the LCM2025 product documentation.
