UK counties quiz: 112 areas across the four nations
A Year 6 pupil revising for a geography test switches the UK map quiz from Nations to Counties: 112 places, each asked once in a random order — the counties of England, the council areas of Scotland, the principal areas of Wales and the districts of Northern Ireland, with Shetland in a box top right.
- Cities that are areas of their own: Bristol, Belfast, Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee — click the city, not the county around it.
- On a phone, at the whole-map view, 13 small areas get a circle to tap, among them Blaenau Gwent, Cardiff, Dundee, Belfast and Glasgow; on a wide screen they are large enough to click as they are.
- Counties is a find-the-place quiz: the capital quizzes are for the four nations (London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast).
- A right click turns the area green with its name; the third miss on one question shows it blinking in orange and counts it as missed. Skip sends a question to the end.
| Nation | Areas asked | Names that trip people up |
|---|---|---|
| England | 47 | North, South and West Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire are four places; Greater London and Greater Manchester are one each |
| Scotland | 32 | East and West Dunbartonshire; North and South Lanarkshire; East, North and South Ayrshire; East Lothian, West Lothian and Midlothian |
| Wales | 22 | Merthyr Tydfil, Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen, in the valleys, are among the smallest areas on the map |
| Northern Ireland | 11 | Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon or Newry, Mourne and Down: one district each |
The end gives something like “Done! 87/112 in 14:05”, counting only first-click answers; the 25 missed are listed, and “Practise the ones I missed” starts a round of just those.
How it works
- Choose the four nations or the counties, then the kind of quiz.
- Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
- At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I quiz the counties?
- Yes — choose Counties for 112 areas: the counties of England, the council areas of Scotland, the principal areas of Wales and the districts of Northern Ireland.
- Are there capitals?
- For the four nations: find each from London, Edinburgh, Cardiff or Belfast, or choose the capital among four. The counties are a find-the-place quiz.
- How does it work?
- A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
- Are cities such as Glasgow or Cardiff separate?
- Yes, where they are areas of their own: Bristol in England, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee in Scotland, Cardiff, Newport and Swansea in Wales, and Belfast. Greater London, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, the West Midlands and Tyne and Wear are one place each.
- Do I need an account?
- No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
