Counties of England Quiz

Wow this one is tricky but I like it.

"Northants" is a fairly common nickname for Northamptonshire. That should count as a right answer.

WRV3 but then you'd have to add Leics, Staffs, Lancs, Hants, Berks, Warks, Salop, Lincs, Gloucs, Worcs, etc, and that would be half the quiz gone! We have far too many shires

This one would be nice if there was a map with it like "US States" etc..

I agree about the map, wouldn't necessarily be helpful for me to answer but would be good to learn where they are.

Awesome quiz. Please do the traditional counties of Ireland too!

20 this time. I think I'm getting better.

Surely you should accept either 'east yorkshire' or 'east riding' for east riding of yorkshire (which, might I add, I've never heard it called)

East Riding of Yorkshire is the proper name for it though, doesn't matter if you've heard of it or not. ;-)

29 now. Why do I always forget the same ones..

I live in the region West Midlands - didn't realise it was also a county even though it must be near me.

middlesex????!!!!! where is it!

48/48 :) Also I thought Middlesex was one

100% with 1:07 left..... not bad :) though it was the second time I did it. The first time I missed one out- clicked give up and then it turned out to be Gloucestershire- the glorious county that I live in! lol

Only 76% know London... Now we look bad! Usually, the English have to guess our states and cities, but now we have the pressure. LOL.

Isle of Wight is not a county. It is part of Hampshire!

The old traditional counties like Middlesex, Huntingdonshire, Westmoreland and Cumberland are no more. Some were swallowed up by enlarging their neighbours, by amalgamation and others like Greater Manchester being newly created. My birth county of Lancashire north of the Sands is now Cumbria - hmm.

:P 47/48

Love this quiz - it's always Berkshire I trip up on, everytime. Would love to see a map version of this, where you have to match the county accurately. And for those missing Middlesex, Wessex etc maybe we should do an historic version one day :-)
