I've downloaded this file: http://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/datasets/0b09996863af4b5db78058225bac5d1b_3

Yet I cannot get the shapes of counties, the symbol given by default is a marker. Can anyone help? I just want a layer showing counties.

I don't know what you downloaded, but if you hit the little arrow on the download button and select 'Shapefile', you sould get a layer showing counties. At least that's what I got.

  • Have you checked if the coordinate reference system of your project is the same as the layers coordinate reference system?
