The Principal Triangulation of Great Britain is a geodetic survey that was carried out in the 19th century to establish a precise framework for mapping and surveying the entirety of Great Britain. Initiated by the Ordnance Survey, the project aimed to determine the positions of various points across the British landscape through triangulation techniques. The program involved the measurement of a network of triangles formed by measuring angles and distances between known points.
