Lindrick Golf Course SSSI

Lindrick Golf Course was notified as a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) because it contains the largest and one of the most diverse areas of limestone grassland in South Yorkshire. 

The notification was awarded by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1987 under Section 28 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981.

The SSSI includes three areas at the west, north and east of Lindrick Golf Course, owned by Lindrick Golf Club.  These areas have ensured that natural flora has survived.  The south-west part extends into Moses Seat Wood and Lindrick Dale Quarry, owned by The Hawke Family Trust.  These areas have been notified for their invertebrate interest.

Access is from the A57 lay-by at Anston Stones Wood (on the bus route from South Anston to Worksop).   A network of public footpaths and bridlepaths crosses the SSSI. 

Footpath 23 leads through Lindrick Hill to connect with footpath 37 along the north-western edge of the Golf Course.

Bridlepath 18 and footpath 21 cross the Course and continue through Moses Seat Wood.

Footpath 26 runs across the western edge of the Course and footpath 16 runs through Moses Seat Wood and through Lindrick Dale Quarry.

Please keep to the footpaths and respect both wildlife and other users.  Take particular care on the Golf Course.
