places of special interest- meaning?

[Dominik92]

Hello all.

What does this mean?

• Some caves in Britain are called “places of special interest”.

For more context please see the link - http://www.imgup.cz/image/LgrK (N.17)



Thank you.

In general it means particularly interesting places.

We have SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) but I've never come across an official designation of "Places of Special Interest". However, I note that the words are not capitalised in your link so I think perhaps it is simply a term that cavers have chosen to use for those 48 caves.
