List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Greater Manchester

This is a list of the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in Greater Manchester, a metropolitan county in North West England.

In England the body responsible for designating SSSIs is Natural England, which chooses a site because of its fauna, flora, geological or physiographical features.

Natural England, like its predecessor, uses the 1974–1996 county system[3] and as such the same approach is followed here, rather than splitting these sites between the Lancashire and Cheshire lists.

The data in the table is taken from English Nature's website in the form of citation sheets for each SSSI.
