Regions

Currently divided for administrative purposes into several somewhat confusing modern counties and municipal areas, Yorkshire is still best understood largely along its traditional boundaries. Traditionally, Yorkshire was divided into three "Ridings" and the city of York, which did not belong to any Riding. These boundaries have changed greatly with various administrative changes, especially over recent decades. The following divisions are those that would be reasonably recognised by most Yorkshire people themselves:

• East Riding = East Yorkshire
• North Riding = North Yorkshire
• West Riding =
  • West Yorkshire
  • South Yorkshire
