Derbyshire is a county in the East Midlands of England. A substantial
portion of the Peak District National Park lies within Derbyshire.
The northern part of Derbyshire overlaps with the Pennines, a
famous chain of hills and mountains. The county contains part
of the National Forest, and borders on Greater Manchester, West
Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire,
Staffordshire and Cheshire.
It has a two-tier local government, with a county council based
in Matlock and eight district councils. Apart from 13 towns with
between 10,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, there is a large amount
of sparsely populated agricultural upland: 75% of the population
live in 25% of the area. Although Derbyshire is generally considered
to be in the East Midlands, some parts, such as High Peak, are
closer to the northern cities of Manchester and Sheffield, and
are considered to be in the north for some purposes, such as BBC
regional television and postal districts; for example Chesterfield
is in the Sheffield (S) postal district and the High Peak is in
the Stockport (SK) postal district.
Before 1998 the administrative county included the city of Derby.
Derby is now a unitary authority, but remains part of Derbyshire
for ceremonial purposes.
As part of a 2002 marketing campaign, the plant conservation
charity Plantlife chose the Jacob's Ladder as the county flower.
In 2006, an unofficial county flag was introduced, largely on
the initiative of BBC Radio Derby.
