• Sample data are not available for the OS Boundaries, OS Islands Address or OS NI Postcodes Collections.

• The standard sample data areas for each collection typically cover three 5km x 5km areas in Great Britain: Exeter (England), Newport (Wales) and Inverness (Scotland). Exceptions to the standard areas are highlighted in the note below.

Record counts will be zero for three feature types in sample data

Please note that as we're publishing three relatively small (5km x 5km) sample data areas for most of the collections, the following three feature types are not represented within these areas and their record counts will therefore be zero in the sample data:

• Landform Point (OS Land Features Collection)

• Maintenance Point (OS RAMI Collection)

• Railway Link Set (OS Transport Network Collection)
