| Boundary High Water Mark | A generalised version of the detailed scale high water mark data that’s available in the Tidal Boundary and Tidal Boundary Continuous High Feature Types within the OS NGD Water Theme. In England and Wales this is the average alignment of the high tides halfway between spring and neap tides, and in Scotland this is the average alignment of the high tides only at spring tides. |
