WHAT IS MAGIC?

MAGIC stands for Multi-Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside. This website provides authoritative geographic information about the natural environment from across government. The information covers rural, urban, coastal and marine environments across Great Britain. We currently present over 400 datasets in our interactive map, which can be explored using various mapping tools. Natural England manages this service under direction set out by a Steering Group of MAGIC partnership organisations.
