Category:Counties in England

England is divided into Ceremonial Counties for non-administrative purposes and into Administrative Regions, Unitiary Authorities and wikipedia:Districts for administrative purposes.

Some ceremonial counties are also administrative counties covering the same area (Suffolk); some administer only part of the county (for example Essex) with other parts of the ceremonial county administered by a unitiary authority (such as Southend-on-Sea in Essex). Some have no administrative functions (for example Berkshire) with all administrative functions delegated to constituent unitary authorities. Some smaller counties are administered by a single unitary authority (for example Isle of White). The boundaries of the ceremonial counties and administrative counties vary (for example the ceremonial county of Surrey includes Croydon but for administrative purposes Croydon is part of Greater London.

A list of these counties and how they relate to administrative areas can be found at English Counties.
