The easiest way to view the area classifications is to use them on a map.

The maps are available in interactive form, using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). To use these you will need the free Adobe SVG viewer. Users are advised to read our guidance notes on using these maps, in order to get the best use from this innovative facility. These notes are also available by clicking within the map page.

If you have svg viewer, choose a region from the interactive map..

Download or find out more about Adobe SVG Viewer.

Alternatively, the main maps are available as PDF files. There are 3 images, for the different level of area classification - Supergroup, Group or Subgroup.
