Statement

The data was first digitised to a smaller scale (1:50,000 and 1:10,000), then it was put to OS Landline and then later to OS MasterMap. This final version has had collaboration between NRW and Park Authorities to give the best interpretation of the original designation.

The digital data was created from an interpretation of the National Park designation maps. These maps varied in scale from 1:63,360 (1 inch to 1 mile) and 1:50,000 scale and were accompanied by a written description of the boundary, however the map over-ruled the description if there was inconsistency.

Where administrative boundaries and roads defined the Park boundary it was a rule that the position of that feature at time of designation remained the geographical position of the boundary. However where rivers or Mean High Water Mark (MHWM) formed the boundary these were digitised according to the base map used at digitisation. Digital data captured to OS MasterMap.
