National Parks are extensive areas of attractive and
relatively wild countryside. Their aim is to provide
protection for the countryside and associated ways of
life found within them. They also serve to provide
opportunities for recreation.
National Parks are largely owned by farmers,
individuals, public bodies (e.g. the Forestry
Commission) and voluntary organisations (e.g.
National Trust).
National Scenic
Areas
These areas are Scotland’s only national landscape
designation and are the equivalent to Areas of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. They are areas
considered to be of national significance on the basis
of their outstanding scenic interest or attractiveness.
They have been selected for their characteristic
feature of scenery, which include prominent
landforms, coastline, sea and freshwater lochs, rivers,
woodlands and moorlands.
Natural and
Mining Cavities
These data contains details of naturally formed
cavities as produced by the processes of dissolution,
cambering, marine erosion and other processes. The
'other processes' includes a variety of cavity forms
such as soil piping, scour hollows, fault movement
and erosion of natural discontinuities in rocks by the
action of water. Also contains cavities produced by
mining activity in the past for the extraction of chalk,
flint and other minerals.
This mining information predominantly relates to
southern and eastern England the majority being the
details of chalk mines.

Handling
Hazardous
Substances
These data are sites that come under the Notification
of Installations Handling Hazardous Substances
(NIHHS) Regulations 1982 and are geo-coded by
Landmark. These regulations specify dangerous
substances and the quantities of these substances
trigger obligations to notify the HSE of their use three
months before such use commences. The NIHHS
Regulations require emergency plans to be kept up to
date and regularly tested. The list of notifiable
substances is divided into specifically named
substances. Notification is required for all sites on
land, as well as jetties, piers and other structures in
UK inland waters proposing use of such substances.
