I've updated the list to use a more recent list of English counties (as defined by the Lieutenancies Act 1997, which would seem to be appropriate). Some of the missing ones above are now in the list, and others, it seems, should not be. Anyway, at least London is now listed properly!

All all versions "Tyne & Wear" is missing.
Thought i'd let you all know for future reference.

The county does exist I have lived there for 30 years!!!!

A great list none the less, thank you

Defining what should be in a list of counties these days is not straightforward. Administratively, most large conurbations do not have a county level. For example, Nottingham is a unitary authority that is not, administratively, within Nottinghamshire. Probably the most useful definition to use, in England at least, is the ceremonial counties.

This list appears to be a pre 1974 list of counties. For example, Westmorland hasn't existed since 1974 and Yorkshire was split into four then. Huntingdonshire is no longer a county (Huntingdon is a district within Cambridgeshire), and I'm not sure it has been since 1965.

The list's biggest problem is that the areas missing from it tend to be those in which the population is concentrated, so a lot of people will be unable to find something to match themselves. Greater London, West Midlands, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Tyne and Wear and Bristol for example.

The Isle of Wight is not a part of Hampshire, but a county in its own right.
