Nicked from another group, thought it might be useful in here.
Interactive maps of the UK with things like sites of scientific
interest, town boundaries etc, with a better user interface than most
on-line web-based maps.

Its exactly what I have come to expect off the government websites - window
dressing policy advertising and poor content makes you wonder if they are a
government or just a slick advertising agency after all they strung the
'New' tag on, next should be 'new improved labour' then

Errr, hello? UK government website?

Perhaps you're living in some far flung part of what is notionally
called the UK but it certainly covers the mainland.

Hehe, that's what you get for having your own MPs, two levels of
incompetence ;-)

The Ordnance Survey data should cover the whole country. But if it's
showing land-ownership and access data, Scotland and England+Wales are
different. The open access provisions introduced in England do not apply
in Scotland, because the whole system of access and ownership of land is
different.

And farmers in Wales don't have to deal with the government cock-ups in
England.

That rather suggests that one set is more competent than the other - I
would have thought that equality of incompetence could be assumed.
