Walkhighlands Map Server and tiles

Our map server is run by ourselves and is only for serving tiles to Walkhighlands website and app; use by other websites or apps, or any form of bulk download is strictly prohibited to ensure we can continue to provide a service.

The map tiles on our own map server were created especially for Walkhighlands from the data sources below; combined on Walkhighlands the tiles are © John Thorn 2022.

They contain:
OS data © Crown copyright and database right (2022)
This data is used for the contours, height data, all topographic data (crags etc), woodland & forests, water features, settlements, roads, railways. The source data is available from the OS under the Open Government Licence (OGL).

© OpenStreetMap contributors (2022)
This data is used for (most) paths, tracks, public toilets, footbridges, fords, wind turbines on these maps. The source data is available from the OSM under the Open Database License (ODbL). As footpaths are crowd-sourced by OpenStreetMap, they may not always exist on the ground.

John Thorn also provides low cost maps produced from this data for sale for Garmin GPS devices.

You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map. Walking can be dangerous and is done entirely at your own risk. Information is provided free of charge; it is every walker's responsibility to check it and to navigate safely.
