A PDF map showing the national parks in Great Britain as at April 2023. (File Size - 274 KB)

This dataset represents the National Parks of the UK. A representative map has been included to provide an overview of the data. Most areas are tagged with the park name, although where the park is made up from a number of small polygons, only the large ones have complete attributes. This dataset was created from OS Strategi data. Data was procesed in ArcGIS to polygonise the lines and then combine the text features to add attribute information about the individual parks. OS Strategi should be acknowledged as the source when this dataset is re-used, this is in accordance with the OS OpenData licence which is Creative Commons Attribution. GIS vector data. This dataset was first accessioned in the EDINA ShareGeo Open repository on 2011-03-02 and migrated to Edinburgh DataShare on 2017-02-21.

This dataset is published as Open DataDigital boundaries of Scotland's National Parks: Cairngorms National Park and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.The Scottish Government maintains digital boundaries for the designated areas of Scotland's National Parks. Scotland currently has two National Parks, Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.The aim of Scotland's National Parks is to deliver better management of areas of outstanding natural and cultural heritage. This is achieved by the conservation and enhancement of natural and cultural heritage, promotion of sustainable use of natural resources, promotion of public understanding and enjoyment (including recreation), and promotion of sustainable social and economic development of the communities of the area. These boundaries are used for the provision of relevant statistics and to inform policy development.

More than 400 Country Parks exist. They are public green spaces often at the edge of urban areas which provide places to enjoy the outdoors and experience nature in an informal semi-rural park setting. Country Parks normally have some facilities such as a car park, toilets, perhaps a cafe or kiosk, paths and trails, and visitor information. There is not necessarily a public right of access, although most are publicly accessible; some charge entry others do not. Most are owned and managed by Local Authorities. Many Country Parks were designated in the 1970s by the then Countryside Commission, under the Countryside Act 1968. More recently Country Parks have been created under a less formal arrangement and Natural England is working with partners to encourage a renaissance and accreditation of parks which meet certain criteria. The dataset contains boundaries of each Country Park, digitised against Ordnance Survey MasterMap using source maps supplied by Local Authorities.Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.

The Brecon Beacons National Park Authority and Natural Resources Wales have completed a joint project to ensure that the boundary of the National Park best represents the designated National Park boundary (including the variation order) produced in 1955 and 1966 respectively.

The original documents consisted of a written description and two 1 inch to 1 mile paper maps. Although these remain the legal documents, an accurate digital boundary was required to make sure that there is clarity on where the boundary line actually is in relation to the ground.

The Cairngorms National Park was established in March 2003 under The Cairngorms National Park Designation, Transitional and Consequential Provisions (Scotland) Order 2003. The boundary was extended as part of the Cairngorms National Park Designation, Transitinal and Consequential Provisions (Scotland) Order 2003 Modification Order 2010. In the designation Order, the boundary is defined by the line on the deposited maps. This dataset represents that line. The aim of Scotland's National Parks is to deliver better management of areas of outstanding natural and cultural heritage. They aim to: conserve and enhance the natural and cultural heritage, promote the sustainable use of natural resources of the area, promote understanding and enjoyment (including enjoyment in the form of recreation) of the special qualities of the area by the public and promote sustainable social and economic development of the communities of the area.

A National Nature Reserve (NNR) is the land declared under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 or Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) as amended. The data does not include "proposed" sites. Boundaries are mapped against Ordnance Survey MasterMap Topography Layer.Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.

The aim of Scotland's National Parks is to deliver better management of areas of outstanding natural and cultural heritage.

Defined Section 3 – Coastal areas in Snowdonia National Park, the limit of each coastal area is recorded as a polygon. Section 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside (Amendment) Act 1985 placed a responsibility on each of the National Parks of England and Wales to prepare a map showing those areas of mountain, moor, heath, woodland, down, cliff or foreshore, the natural beauty of which the Authority considers it is particularly important to conserve. The map gives an overall impression of the distribution of coastal habitats which are considered particularly important to retain. The conservation and enhancement of the coastline is central to the National Park purposes. The boundary of Snowdonia National Park corresponds with the High Water Mark but for the purposes of this exercise all coastal and inter-tidal areas have been considered for inclusion of in the map whether they are within or immediately adjacent to the Park area.

An updated map of peat extent for Wales has been developed by the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, with support from the British Geological Survey and Natural Resources Wales in support of the Glastir Monitoring & Evaluation Programme, commissioned by the Welsh Government. This map represents a considerable advance on previous attempts to map the deep peat resource of Wales and yields a significantly larger estimate than that based on the Soil Survey of England and Wales alone. This new map highlights the wide distribution of peatlands across much of Wales, with large areas of upland blanket bog in North east and North-central Wales (Migneint, Berwyn) and central Wales (Cambrian Mountains), as well as smaller areas of upland peat in and around the Brecon Beacons National Park. The new unified map also provides a much more detailed picture of the distribution of deep peat in the lowlands, many areas of which retain significant biodiversity interest. The Glastir Monitoring & Evaluation Programme was set up by the Welsh Government in 2013 to monitor the effects of the Glastir agri-environment scheme on the environment and ran from 2013 to 2016.
