Notes

Data rounded to one decimal place.

Grid reference is based on the British national grid reference system, also known as OSGB36, and is the system used by the Ordnance Survey.[69]

Those SSSIs with more than one OS grid reference are composed of multiple sections, separated by non-SSSI land.[69]
