The map and list depict the current administrative counties and Unitary Authorities of England and Wales, and their highest points above sea level. These are the areas which were formed by administrative changes in the late 1990's through to 2001.
Though the traditional historic counties and their boundaries still exist, local government administrative changes have been largely adopted by map-makers and in road-signage, giving us new administrative "counties". The notable changes were: the establishment of Greater London in the 1960s; the metropolitan "counties" and other oddities in the 1970's, e.g. Merseyside, Greater Manchester, West Midlands, Humberside, Avon, together with wholescale administrative changes in Wales; the changeover to Unitary Authorities from the late 1990's.
Some of the tops on this page are real oddities, and may seem a bit pointless in some of the low-lying counties, and especially in the metropolitan areas. This website also includes pages for the London Borough Tops, the Historic County Tops, and for the Administrative (1974) County Tops.
