Below is a list of all the known local levelling datums within Great Britain. The local datums arose because the Ordnance Datum (Liverpool or Newlyn) could not be transferred across to the offshore island as they were beyond the range of levelling methods.
On these remoter islands Ordnance Datum is based on a local determination of mean sea level, which, being usually based on a short period of observations, can only be regarded as approximate.
