The lie of the land in Camberley
The typical building in Camberley stands on ground sloping 0.7° (read on an 8 m grid, so short steep banks may be understated).
Nearly all of its 1,268 measured buildings (100%) stand on ground under 5°.
Slope is not a measure of ground stability. Sources and limits
Distance to the coast from Camberley
Camberley is inland: the typical title is 11 km from the sea or harbour edge, and none is within 1 km of it.
Measured in a straight line from the centre of each title's land to the coastline on LINZ's 1:50k topographic map, which follows harbours and estuaries as well as the open coast; lakes and rivers are not included. Distance says nothing about beach access, views or exposure to coastal hazards; council hazard maps and the LIM describe those.
