RealCounties (by HCI)

The historic counties of Britain and Ireland.

Real Counties explains the real historic counties of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland: their geography, boundaries, identities, flags, and place in public life.

We show the difference between the historic counties and modern administrative areas, and explore the maps, records, symbols, and official evidence behind the counties that still exist.

Expect county history, historic geography, boundary explainers, campaign updates, and short films on the real counties.
