Geographic Information Systems Asked by Mathew Bayley on August 18, 2021
I am looking for vector data outlining the agricultural field boundaries in the UK (Specifically Scotland, England and Wales). I have tried all sources of open source data I can find and looked at Ordnance Survey Data.
Ordnance Survey have the data however they package it as part of the Vectormap Local data which costs in excess of £800k for the UK. The actual sub layer is called Rural Boundaries when the Shapefile is extracted.
If there is no realistic way of getting this data, or purchasing it for a reasonable price, is there a way to extract the data from aerial photography?
This is just for Scotland, but are either of these you're looking for?
Additionally, an open data portal you may not have tried yet.
If these are not what you're looking for, your best bet may be to contact naturalengland directly to see if they know where you can get your information.
In Canada, farm boundary shapefiles (if they exist) would likely be held by the municipal or possibly provincial governments, the equivalent government in the UK might have similar shapefiles if you are able to contact them. Alternatively, it might be worth contacting the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs to see if they have a shapefile that fits your need, and if they do, if they're willing to share.
