What this site sits on
- Special Protection Area — Solway Firth
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.

How big is Robin Rigg East?

Who operates Robin Rigg East?
