In England, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) are designated by Natural England, which is responsible for protecting England's natural environment. Designation as an SSSI gives legal protection to the most important wildlife and geological sites.[1] As of May 2020 there are 163 SSSIs in Norfolk,[2] out of which 123 are biological, 25 are geological and 15 are both biological and geological.

Sixty-one sites are
