The site is very easy to use and has a seemingly endless number of layers which you can switch on and off as you see fit. Some of the most useful layers are those that mark sites of scientific interest, a road or footpath distance marker and registered common land boundaries.

Magic Map uk uses more than 300 data layers, some of which are available to download and print as well. The site has been revamped by Landmark Solutions, part of Landmark Information, to bring the service into the modern era.

Using the Magic Map uk has never been easier!

The site has recently been redesigned to include a new user interface and more search tools for mapping layers. The site also incorporates a range of tutorial videos to help users make the most of its large library of location-based data.

There are a variety of layers to explore including a hatched area, a scheduled ancient monument and a National Nature Reserve. The best way to find out what all the different colors mean is to use the Magic Map uk’s handy information button. It will display a small box which shows you the names and a link to more information about the location of the hatched area.
