Campaign for Historic Counties
@realcounties
Historic Counties are so-called because they ‘have a lot of history’. Let’s celebrate them more, and stop confusing counties with local admin zones.

Today is #DerbyshireDay! The stately homes of #Derbyshire have driven a great deal of literature, in particular Chatsworth, home to the Dukes of Devonshire. Other writers have drawn inspiration from the grit of the industrial towns. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #CountyDays 🏴
We hope to see Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council promote #CumberlandDay tomorrow… Each admin zone includes part of the county of #Cumberland. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #CountyDays 🏴
