Notes

^A Data rounded to one decimal place.

^B Grid reference is based on the British national grid reference system, also known as OSGB36, and is the system used by the Ordnance Survey.^[4]

^C Those SSSIs with more than one OS grid reference are composed of multiple sections, separated by non-SSSI land.^[4]

^D Site notification consists of designating a site as an SSSI and consulting with the owner(s). This list uses the date notified under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

^E Link to maps using the Nature on the Map service provided by Natural England.

^F Clayton To Offham Escarpment site extends into the county of West Sussex and so can be found on the list of SSSIs in West Sussex.^[3]
