Nottinghamshire, and its location within the United Kingdom

This is a list of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in Nottinghamshire, a county in the East Midlands. Nottinghamshire is bordered by South Yorkshire to the north, and Leicestershire to the south, and has an estimated population of 1,055,400 within an area of 2,159 km2 (533,500.5 acres), therefore making it the 17th largest ceremonial county in the United Kingdom.[1] The data in this table is taken from English Nature's website in the form of citation sheets for each SSSI.[2]

As of March 2012 there are 66 SSSIs in Nottinghamshire. 63 are notable for their biological interest, 1 for its geology and 2 for both geological and biological interest.

For other counties, see List of SSSIs by Area of Search.
