Glastonbury, the ancient Isle of Avalon, resting place of King Arthur and all that. Had the largest Abbey in the UK till Henry XIII (King with the 6 wives) broke with Rome and seized all it's assets.
The LIDAR data comes in two formats, LIDAR Composite Digital Terrain Model (DTM), and, LIDAR Composite Digital Surface Model (DSM). The difference being that the Surface model maps the buildings and trees, hedges etc whilst the Terrain model somehow "sees" through these surface details and only maps the terrain. I have used the Surface scans in the above images.
The Colour texture is from ESRI ArcGIS compiled via a nifty bit of software called
Terraincognita that stitches together massive amounts of Aerial and satellite data.
The two datasets are then overlayed in GeoMapper and exported as GeoTiffs. Terragen could place them in the correct place on the planet but I prefer to work at the "North Poll" where possible.
