Spatial data
 

birch woodlandThis page provides access to spatial data files covering a range of features surveyed and mapped across the Ennerdale Valley.

This data is provided for non profit research or educational purposes.

The files are provided as zip files containing Arc Gis shp,shx,dbf,sbn,sbx shapefiles.

To gain access to the data please download, complete and post or fax the Spatial Data Licence schedule to Gareth Browning, Forestry Commission, Peil Wyke, Bassenthwaite Lake, Cockermouth, Cumbria, CA13 9YG or FAX 017687 76115 .

On receipt and approval of your completed licence you will then be sent a username and password by email to allow you to access the data. Please note, you only need to send the last sheet of the form which you have signed.

If you do not have Arc9.1 and would still like to view the files you can download Arc Explorer which is available for free from ESRI. Arc Explorer will allow you to view and interrogate the data but not modify it.
