List of counties in England?

[Paul2412]

Does anyone know where I can find a list of English counties?

 

I looked on Wikipedia but the results are bizarre, listing Blackburn as its own county for example.

 

I can't seem to find any site that gives a list of the counties (surely Blackburn would come under Lancashire?).

That sounds like a list of council authorities, rather than a list of the historical counties of England. Presumably Blackburn is no longer part of Lancashire County Council's jurisdiction.

There is a map for 'Counties and Unitary Authorities - 2009' here. (PDF)

I think you need to define "county" before you can find a list of them for England! There's so many different definitions of the word, that finding a definitive list is almost impossible.

Thanks, that was the type of thing I wanted Alex

Well if you're interested you can always check it on Google Maps.

Ought to add that it's the old ones, as they used to be.
