The Beginner's Guide to UK Geography is a simple tour of the main territorial units used in National Statistics work. Use the guide to obtain basic facts on each type of area, as well as more specialist information on topics such as boundary change.
Many pages provide access to area names and codes listings, and there is also a separate maps menu. Whether you want to know the difference between a ward and a parish, how many Westminster constituencies there are in the UK, or simply the name of the longest river in Wales, the Beginner's Guide to UK Geography is your ideal reference source.
Note: The maps in the Beginner's Guide are in pdf format. Most users already have the Acrobat Reader software required to view pdf files. If you do not have it, you can download it from the Adobe website.
