- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-25. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Suffolk as follows: Suffolk the eastermost county in Britain. It is a rural county of flat landscape. It lies between Norfolk and Essex, divided from Norfolk by the Waveney and the Little Ouse (which rise within yards of each other in the same marsh before running in opposite directions). Suffolk's southern boundary is the Stour. To the east lies the North Sea. The coast of Suffolk is smooth and sandy but prone to depridations from the sea. Dunwich was once a great port and indeed a capital of the Kingdom of East Anglia but it is now wholly lost to the sea and the low sandy cliffs are still retreating. Southward though Orford Ness lies on a long strip of new land between the River Ore and the sea. The southernmost point of Suffolk is Landguard Point by Felixstowe, a substantial commercial port. It is at this point that the deep Deben, Orwell, and Stour estuaries …5 KB (667 words) - 05:07, 27 May 2022

It stretches from Windsor in the east up to the borders of Gloucestershire in the west. The River Thames provides, apart from the northern border, fertile farmland. In western Berkshire rise the Berkshire Downs, rising to about 1,000 feet. From them is much beautiful and wooded river scenery down to Reading. The prehistoric Ridgeway runs along the Berkshire Downs, above the pleasant Vale of White Horse. There the famous White Horse of Uffington is the major landmark. The main town is Reading, though historically the county town is Abingdon. The Shire Hall in Abingdon is one of the earliest and finest of the seventeenth century public halls. Reading, Bracknell and other Berkshire towns are growing and thriving on the computer industry, becoming known as …3 KB (434 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-09-08. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Sussex as follows: Sussex on the south coast is the county of the South Downs and the sea. Its coastline is more than 80 miles long, with sandy beaches almost unbroken along its whole length from Chichester Harbour to Camber Sands. The South Downs stretch almost the length of Sussex, from the Hampshire border to Beachy Head. Sussex was once a Kingdom, until overwhelmed and absorbed in the ninth century. The coastal strip of Sussex squeezed between the South Downs and the English Channel are what makes "Sussex by the Sea" so famous. Here are a long string of beach resorts including Bognor, Worthing, Hove and of course Brighton, the most famous of them all. Past Beachy Head lie Eastbourne, Bexhill-on-Sea and Hastings. Brighton is a most remarkable town. Its beachfront is the quintessential seaside resort, with two pleasure piers (albeit that one went on fire a few years …5 KB (682 words) - 05:07, 27 May 2022

Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Northumberland as follows: Northumberland is a large county, very rural and very urban in its different parts. The coast of Northumberland stretches from the mouth of the Tyne to Berwick on Tweed. The Tynemouth is a major port, a busy industrial gateway, behind which is the Newcastle conurbation. North of the Tyne are a number of coastal towns but past Blythe is undisturbed rural Northumberland, where the coastline is generally low-lying and rocky, with numerous little bays. Bamburgh Castle sits perched on a precipitous rock; the first seat of the Northumbrian kings, though the castle itself is rather more recent. Opposite Bamburgh are the Farne Islands stretching into the North Sea, of which the largest and most famous is Lindisfarne or Holy Island, which was the first Christian missionary centre in Northumbria. Inland the bulk of the county is sparcely populated, a …4 KB (526 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Norfolk as follows: Norfolk is a large county in East Anglia, forming the round eastern rump of the land. The county is generally flat and intensely cultivated. The north-western corner of Norfolk is on the Wash, where once were marshland running many mailes inland, now drained, and the edge of the Great Fen. In the south-eastern part of Norfolk is another area of low ground; the Norfolk Broads. The Broads, strictly so called, are the wide lakes linked by rivers, though the name is applied to the whole area. The main rivers of the Broads and of Norfolk as a whole, are the Waveney, which marks the boundary with Suffolk, the Yare, which runs from Norwich, and the Bure. The whole area is barely feet above sea level, or lower. These rivers, together with the Broads themselves and many smaller rivers and creeks make up a network throughout western Norfolk, providing about …4 KB (620 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022

Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Worcestershire as follows: Worcestershire is a mixture of the very rural and the very urban. It is low-lying; much of it lies in the Severn Valley, between Shropshire and Gloucestershire. To the east is Warwickshire and to the west Herefordshire. The boundaries of Worcestershire are remarkably ragged, with many detached parts, all thought to originate from the scattered holdings of the Bishops of Worcester. In the centre of the shire is the cathedral city of Worcester. Worcester sits on the River Severn. It retains charming streets around the cathedral. In the southeast is the pleasant Vale of Evesham, presided over by Evesham, popular with visitors. In the southwest are the pretty Malvern Hills, a gentle set of hills in Worcestershire before the rigours of the Herefordshire peaks. Great Malvern is a lovely spa town.

Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Cheshire as follows: West to east, Cheshire reaches from the windswept Wirral peninsula up into the Peak District. The north encompasses industrial towns and the suburbs from Manchester and Liverpool, fading into the agricultural south of the county. Cheshire has been called "the Surrey of the North". The City of Chester retains many mediæval features, including the only surviving complete town wall walk. Inland Cheshire forms a vast plain separating the mountains of Wales from the Peak District of Derbyshire. In the Cheshire plain are fine oak woodlands and countless small lakes or meres. At the county's western extremity is the Wirral, a flat peninsula some 12 miles long by 7 miles wide separating the Dee and the Mersey. The Wirral is now largely urbanized. At its easternmost extremity the parish of Tintwistle runs up into the Peaks; a narrow strip between …3 KB (445 words) - 11:19, 6 June 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-18. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Surrey as follows: Surrey is a relatively small county but heavily populated. The northeast of Surrey lies within the Metropilitan conurbation. In this area are numerous contiguous towns varying socially from the wealthy and exclusive to the more ordinary city neighbourhoods. In this area are Southwark, oppposite the City of London, home of a Cathedral and of much of the broadcast media; Lambeth, home of the Archbishop of Canterbury; Brixton; Wandsworth; and the wealthy towns of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames. Richmond Palace, now demolished, was a favourite home of the Tudor monarchs, while Kingston has an older royal claim as the coronation place of several Anglo-Saxon kings. Outside the Metropolis are towns which are themselves often largely commuter towns. Surrey's communter suburbs have become the essence of our understanding of "Suburbia".

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Kent as follows: A county more full of history than any other, Kent lies at the southeasternmost point of Britain, and closest to Europe. The famous White Cliffs look out over the Straits of Dover, just 22 miles from the French coast. Kent is therefore the land which has greeted visitors for millennia, whether in war or in peace. Kent's name is also the oldest. It derives from the Cantii, an ancient British tribe known to the Romans long before Caesar. Kent was a British kingdom before the Romans came and after them it soon became a Jutish kingdom. Kent is known as the "Garden of England" for the richness and variety of its arable farming. Hop growing has been the traditional major agriculture of Kent, as the oast houses found throughout the county testify. There is coal mining in the east of the county. The northwest of Kent, from Lewisham and Greenwich out to …4 KB (550 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022

Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Leicestershire as follows: Leicestershire is a Midland county, famed as a foxhunting shire but also as an industrial one. Leicester, the county town is a historic city with Roman, Viking and Mediæval roots under a substantial modern city undergoing great social transformation. Leicestershire has a wealth of coal seams. Northern Leicestershire is greatly transformed by coal mining. Coalville, northwest of Leicester, was founded on and sustained by the mines, a centre among other mining centres. The rest of the county is famed for its scenery, including the hilly Charnwood Forest, rising above 900 feet and the Wolds in the northeast. In this unindustrial part of Leicestershire are many charming villages and rich farmland. Melton Mowbury, at the heart of fox-hunting country in the east of the shire, is the home of the eponymous pork pie. (Stilton cheese is also from …4 KB (448 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Hampshire as follows: A seaborne county and a landward county, a rural and an urban county, Hampshire looks in two directions. The south coast of Hampshire, on the English Channel, looks to the sea. Southampton is Britain's greatest commercial seaport and eastward of it Portsmouth is the home of the Royal Navy. Other ports line the Hampshire coast, and indeed from the head of Southampton Water to the edge of Sussex runs a swathe of townscape, broken only by a breathing space of smaller towns by Southampton and by the river estuaries, islands and creeks with which the natural coastline is ragged. In this though each town has it characteristics and history. Across the Solent is the Isle of Wight, a self-reliant island (and once a separate Jutish kingdom) but a part of Hampshire nevertheless. Queen Victoria fell in love with the island and stayed frequently at Osborne …4 KB (582 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022

Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Lancashire as follows: Lancashire is a large and heavily populated county, in population second only to Middlesex. Lancashire runs up the English west coast from the Mersey north to Morecambe Bay with a further part north of the sands at Furness. Lancashire was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, its cotton mills supplying the Empire and the World. Although competition and changed technology have swept many of the great mills away nevertheless Lancashire is still home to industrial might, and the great towns and cities which grew up in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries still thrive. Away from the industrial and urban areas, Lancashire contains scenery of much beauty and jarring contrasts. The Furness district in the north sits on the sea at Barrow in Furness, a shipyard and industrial town. Behind Barrow though is a land of lakeland fells, forested and …5 KB (776 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022

Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Warwickshire as follows: Warwickshire can boast of being the birthplace of the British imagination, for this is Shakespeare's own county. There is more to it though; Birmingham gained its place in the industrial revolution two hundred years after its place in the cultural revolution. Stratford-on-Avon, the place of William Shakespeare's birth and of his death, has become a place of pilgrimage. His birthplace remains almost as he would have known it; a leaning half-timbered house, one of many in the town and in the villages of the neighbourhood, including the home of his wife, a large thatched, half-timbered house in beautiful country. Outside the town once stretched the Forest of Arden, an enchanted place which many celebrated, and though little woodland remains, the names of Hampton-in-Arden and Henley-in-Arden remain. The villages in this part of Warwickshire …5 KB (637 words) - 05:07, 27 May 2022
