When my granny was a piffling daughter she used to convey to walk 5,000 miles to exceed to schoolhouse everyday. through freezing air current as well as blinding rain. I, of course, don't know I'm born as well as should goal complaining well-nigh a tiny ii mile stroll to exceed to school.
If you lot don't desire to head to your kids complaining everyday well-nigh their over-long journeying to schoolhouse thus you lot could role Parallel's Schools inward England & Wales. This interactive map provides, walking, cycling as well as driving times for every schoolhouse inward England as well as Wales. Zoom inward on whatever schoolhouse as well as you lot tin sentiment isochrone layers showing the areas that you lot tin walk, bike or get to (from the school) inward half-dozen infinitesimal increments.

Last twelvemonth too featured Parallel's interactive map of Britain population density inward 3D. Their ONS Population Estimates map shows the population density inward each Britain Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) as well as the historic menstruation breakdown of the population inward each LSOA.
The population density sentiment on the map uses Mapbox GL's extrusion holding to practise 3D towers on the map. The tiptop of the towers represents the population density of the LSOA. In other words the higher the tower thus the greater the population density.
