About this topic

Learn and test every English county town — the historic administrative centre of each ceremonial county. Type the county town of each, pick the right one from four choices, or match each county to its town. Watch the traps: Lancashire→Preston, Cheshire→Chester, Devon→Exeter (not Plymouth), Hampshire→Winchester (not Southampton), East Sussex→Lewes (not Brighton). The metropolitan counties use their county-council seat (West Yorkshire→Wakefield, South Yorkshire→Barnsley). Greater London and the City of London have no distinct county town, so they sit this one out.
