Created: 13 February 2020 Updated: 30 May 2023
You can view an image of our LiDAR data through this web map service Preview option available for all our LiDAR Composite datasets available on the Defra Data Services Platform.
To view the data, choose one of the Composite datasets in the list above and click on it. On the metadata/information page for each dataset, scroll down to the Dataset links section and click on the preview button corresponding to the WMS link. The Preview page will open, where you will need to zoom in to the area you are interested in and switch on the layer you wish to view - choosing from the data itself or footprint/boundary of it.
The Coverage Metadata Files - Web Map Service Preview option will give you a similar overview of the extents of all raster data we publish, but not the data itself.
The 'Preview' service is only an image of the data and as such it cannot be queried.
If you wish to use our data, please see this FAQ:
