Natural England Open Data Geoportal

The Natural England Open Data Geoportal serves as the official platform for Natural England to share its geospatial data and web services. As the government's principal adviser for the natural environment in England, Natural England is dedicated to protecting and restoring the nation's natural world for public enjoyment and the essential services it provides. The organization operates as an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra).

This geoportal offers free and open access to a comprehensive array of geographic products, web applications, story maps, services, and APIs. All content is made available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, unless explicitly stated otherwise, ensuring broad usability and accessibility. The platform is regularly updated, with new data products typically released monthly, starting from the 16th of each month or the next working day.

Recent data releases highlight the breadth of information available, including updates to Environmental Stewardship Scheme Agreements and Options, Countryside Stewardship Scheme Management Areas and Options, and Local Nature Recovery Strategy Areas across England. Other significant datasets include the CRoW Act 2000 - Access Layer and the King Charles III England Coast Path Route, underscoring Natural England's commitment to providing critical information for environmental management, conservation, and public access.
