It's not as easy as it may appear!

It's time to test your knowledge of English geography.

All you need to do is input the names of England's 48 counties into the answer box below within the five-minute time limit.

While it seems easy enough, are you confident you can recall each and every one as the clock ticks?

Before you get started, we'll even offer up a quick tip: Yorkshire may be a historic English county, but you'll have no luck entering it into this quiz.

Because of its massive size, in the 1970s the region was split up into a group of smaller and more easily governable counties.

To get full marks here you'll have to know the names of them all.
