In your infographic, there is no mention of Local Geological Sites or Geological SSSI. There are a number of such designated sites within the area covered.
Local Geological Sites are designed to provide a system of locally valued non-statutory sites.
Local Geological Sites (‘LGS’) are broadly equivalent to Local Wildlife Sites (‘LWS’) but have a wider remit as they can be designated for their scientific, educational, historical and recreational benefits. Typical Cambridgeshire LGS include quarries, pits, Fenland, chalk springs and could also include buildings, walls, boulders and river meanders
