Give your kids more time

Watch to find out how

GetOutside was founded by Ordnance Survey, to help more people to get outside more often

It sits at the heart of everything we do, as we firmly believe an active outdoor lifestyle helps you live longer, stay younger and enjoy life more.

GetOutside is for everyone, just as the outdoors is for everyone and we want to help you discover the best Britain has to offer and the benefits that outdoor activity can bring.

Spring: an ode to the old and new

Spring should be a time for celebration as new life bursts forth and drives the grey skies of winter away. For #GetOutside Champion Nigel Vardy though, this Spring bought reflection on a man who inspired him in nature.

Easter activities

GetOutside with the family in Northumberland National Park this Easter. Enjoy bushcrafts, pond dipping, chocolate lolly making and a geocache Easter egg hunt!
