Sources and data notes

OpenStreetMap data is supplied via Overpass; coverage and accuracy vary. A missing result does not mean there are no places of that type nearby.

Distances are measured in a straight line to the mapped point or boundary. They do not identify an entrance, confirm access or describe a walking route. Named trails are mapped routes, not reviewed walking recommendations.

Parking charges are shown only where the source explicitly marks a car park as free or paid. Check signs for current restrictions. Prison locations use a locally maintained Place Keys dataset.
