Facts and Information about Derbyshire
The following Information has been provided by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Derbyshire is a county in the East Midlands of England, which
boasts some of England's most attractive hill and mountain
scenery. A substantial portion of the Peak District National Park
lies within Derbyshire. The northern part of Derbyshire overlaps
with the Pennines, a famous chain of hills and mountains. The
county contains part of the National Forest, and borders on
Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire,
Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.
It has a two-tier local government, with a county council
based in Matlock and eight district councils. Apart from 13 towns
with between 10,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, there is a large
amount of sparsely populated agricultural upland: 75% of the
population live in 25% of the area.
Before 1998 the county included the city of Derby. Derby is
now a unitary authority, but remains part of Derbyshire for
ceremonial purposes.
