Special Sites of Scientific Interest (SSSI) are areas and sites
that are protected in the United Kingdom in order to conserve
and facilitate the continuation of habitats containing
significant flora, fauna and/or geology. Although SSSI s are
numerous and undergoing continued additions, obtaining the
information to find these SSSI s is problematic and long winded.
Indeed, the list is currently limited to England and Scotland,
as the information from the Countryside Council of Wales is not
easily extractable at present. All locations are generally
central to the SSSI which may be of considerable size. The
location was determined from manual conversion of OS Grid
Reference information into Lat/Long coordinates usable for
distance and Google Map calculations. It is surprising to find
how many SSSI s are close to your home! Please note, some SSSI s
are *NOT* publicly accessible and permission from land owners
must be sought etc. Enter your Postcode Number of Results
