Clean: No, loads of dirtied cells and landscape.
    Textures were cleaned out which removes them from your land, don't bother cleaning an LTEX entry unless you are 100% sure it is not used in your file

Fix:
Almost none of the terrain is smoothed, take a look at everything with wireframe on (W) and then go over all the rough stuff with Landscape Edit radius 3+ with Soften Vertices ticked.
A lot of the menhirs underwater are floating and lack vertex shading
There are also a lot of exposed texture seams. These happen when more than 3 land textures touch, and need to be covered up with statics, or have one of the textures changed to clear it.
The town and wilderness are well detailed, but have many floating objects, zoom in real close and rest them properly.
Pieces of the daedric ruin are missing vertex shading
Some light emitters and rocks are beneath the terrain. Check for this the same way you look at terrain in wireframe.
Muckspunge should be growing near water
Kelp patches should have more kelp
Some banners aren't connecting nicely to the roots used, check the IDs of the roots and hangers used in Sadrith Mora
Terrain poking through tomb door
Daedric ruin entrance not connecting to anything.
Daedric sand rubble looks awkward

Good:
Good size & shape
Nice town layout
Good ref count
Road is sunk well

Clean: Yes

General:
    Some menhirs are floating and caspering (when a mesh shows the backfaces from improper placement), lower these to be sunk into terrain. Generally you want to intersect rocks and terrain instead of just dropping them with F.

14,25
    https://i.imgur.com/5rPPJU2.png smooth 
    crate_01_food (with basket on top) floating
