How the UK is Divided: Countries, Cities, Counties, Councils, Wards
It’s called the United Kingdom, but it’s divided up into four countries! I’ll be focusing on England in particular, and showing how the country where I live is divided up into cities and towns, villages and countryside. I’ll be talking about counties, councils, and wards, and giving a few examples of place names. If you’re planning on moving to the UK, this is essential knowledge. https://www.engvid.com/how-the-uk-is-divided/
