Useful Maps
The internet and phone networks today deliver an overload of information to our desktops or phone apps - so there are many choices available when you want to find out more information about the area you live in or are thinking of moving too.
Here are a few useful map websites if you want to find out a house name or look up a boundary, find schools, libraries, recycling centres, check the geology of an area or habitat or landscapes designations, find a footpath and much more.
Most of the maps linked allow you to zoom right in and identify the levels of information that you want them to show.
