The United Kingdom is a country in northwest Europe. It and the British Crown Dependencies of the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are covered by 73 graticules, some of which are shared with Ireland (and one of which also covers about 100 square metres of a French beach -- but only at low tide).

History and UK law make geohashing particularly interesting and often quite easy. The country is covered with a network of public footpaths and bridleways guaranteeing public access. Hashpoints are rarely far from a road or one of these paths. Most of the terrain is easy but there are more extreme areas where geohasing is no longer a walk in the park.

Map

Hashed graticules are green -- dark if they are currently active, light if they are not. Yellow graticules are flagged as active but have not yet had a successful expedition.

Graticules

This section lists the UK's graticules, along with the date of the first geohash in each. If no date is listed, the graticule can be assumed to be virgin. The list is roughly arranged by region, and graticules are listed from NW to SE in each region. Graticules covering more than one region are listed by the one containing the place the graticule is named after. The Sligo, Ireland, graticule is also listed under Northern Ireland as it contains a small portion of the UK. Active graticules are listed in bold.
