The One Thing Each UK County Leads In

We’re all proud of something and, more often than not, we’re proud of where we’re from. But what is it about our home counties we like to boast about so much?

It’s said Yorkshire pride itself on making the best tea, but did you know North Yorkshire is the most popular seaside destination and West Yorkshire has more breweries than any other county?

Somerset folk are often heard praising their own cider, but perhaps they’d like to sing about all the Bitterns (a type of bird) they have, more than anywhere else in the UK!

We’ve produced a map that shows the one thing each county in the UK leads in or is famous for.

Check out where you’re from and see what your county is known for… the answer might surprise you.
