How to read this

This is a count of reports, not a crime-rate score. Police.uk deliberately moves incident locations to nearby map points to protect privacy, so it should be used to understand the wider area rather than a particular house or street corner.

Source: data.police.uk. Street-level locations are approximate and the data is updated monthly.
ROADS & TRANSPORT

Useful to know

This is a quick location guide rather than a journey-time estimate. Traffic, junction access and the route from a particular home can make the driving distance longer.

NATURE & OUTDOORS

Green space and walks

A practical view of nearby parks, nature reserves and named walking routes. These are not curated dog-walk recommendations, but they are useful starting points for getting outside.

Useful to know

Distances are straight-line estimates. Parking charges are shown only where the source explicitly marks a car park as free or paid; otherwise Place Keys leaves that detail out.

Nearby places and outdoor features: © OpenStreetMap contributors via Overpass. Prison points are cached in a local Place Keys dataset so ordinary proximity checks do not repeatedly call an external service.
