I defined a series of rectangular areas to extract from the UK planet.osm, and in order to avoid adding urban areas to the database, I had to exclude small rural areas near the big cities. The bounding boxes probably need finer tuning. >There's also a large void from Bridgnorth in Shropshire all the way to the >North Sea near Lowestoft which cuts off a lot of rural areas. This probably arose in order to simplify my bounding boxes. I'll try and look into this. >There is a large void in the North of England - which includes part of the >Northumberland National Park. The northern limit of my northernmost bounding box is somewhere near Hadrian's Wall - again I'll look into this.
