UK map: counties, English regions, etc ~  www.folklife.uk/uk-map


FOR "AREA" on OPT-IN form 
For Greater London and former metro councils like West Midlands, please use local government area boroughs  (eg Birmingham not former West Midlands county).   Confusingly, this government map shows "for statistical purposes" metro councils which no longer exist.
For other areas please use county - if two councils for your area, please use the bigger area (eg for county & district councils, please use county)
