Height above sea level?
Search your location at:
http://www.heavens-above.com/selectt...ecified&TZ=CET and it should tell you your Latitude, Longitude and Elevation. Tom Danbury, Essex (107m) |

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? ta |

Tom Danbury, Essex (107m) 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. Joe |

Short of having a suitable O/S map, is there anywhere online where I can find my location and see the height? 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!

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.
