The Humberhead Levels cover a large expanse of very flat, low lying land towards the western end of the Humber estuary in northern England. The Levels occupies the area of the former Glacial Lake Humber. The area bounded to the east by the Yorkshire Wolds and the northern Lincolnshire Edge, a limestone escarpment, and to the west by the southern part of the Yorkshire magnesian limestone ridge. In the north the Levels merge with the slightly more undulating Vale of York close to the Escrick glacial moraine, and to the south merge into the Trent Vale.

Famous quotes containing the word levels:
“Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.”
—Eva Perón (1919–1952)
