Height above sea level?
 

I'm curious - I've always wondered what height above sea level my
property is. Short of having a suitable O/S map, is there anywhere
online where I can find my location and see the height?

www.streetmap.co.uk is by far the best. The link above is very general,
taking a spot height in every town/village or city.

There are sites online which suggest they can provide your altitude based on
settlement name, lat and long. In my experience not very accurate unless you
live in an area such as the Fens. Far better is to go to the Ordnance Survey
site
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/ In the 'Get-a-Map' window put
the name of your location (you may then have to select from a range if you
happen to live in Newport for example). Your map will appear but you should
then press the large + sign to get the 1:25000 scale with the 5metre contour
interval. Beware that some map sites simply enlarge the 1:50000 OS map which
only has a 10metre interval.After that you just have to find where you live!

All the best

Where is the height on Streetmap? I can see lat and long, but no
height.

Click on the 2nd largest house-shaped icon below the bottom-left of the map
Read the brown contour lines indicate the lines above sea-level.

Find the nearest brown line to your house and trace it back to a number. This will be your height
in metres.

Sorry. That's the house-shaped icon bottom RIGHT (not left)

Try both the 2nd & 3rd largest house-shaped icons.
