Standard sample data areas

The sample data for each OS NGD collection typically cover three 5km x 5km areas in Great Britain: Exeter (England), Newport (Wales), and Inverness (Scotland).

Exceptions

  • Please note that sample data are not available for the OS NGD Islands Address Collection or OS NGD Boundaries Collection.

  • GB Address Collection sample data is available for Exeter only.

Please note that as we are publishing three 5km x 5km sample data areas for most of the OS NGD collections, a small number of feature types are not represented within these areas and therefore their record counts will be zero:

  • Landform Point (OS NGD Land Features Collection)

  • Maintenance Point (OS NGD RAMI Collection)

  • Railway Link Set (OS NGD Transport Network Collection)
