A nice mapping site, called PROTECTED PLANET which allows students to explore protected areas. It covers the world, but will probably start by showing the area that you are living in. You can SEARCH for a place. Useful for exploring landscapes which need protection, and various management issues.
A rather nice map allows you to zoom down to the local level to identify specific protected areas and the nature of their protection.
This shows the SSSI which is a few minutes walk from my house, and a good place to find fungi. Here's an image taken on a recent walk...
