Portal:East Midlands England/Intro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The East Midlands is one of the regions of England and consists of most of the eastern half of the traditional region of the Midlands. It consists of the combined area of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and most of Lincolnshire.

The highest point in the region is Kinder Scout, in the Derbyshire Peak District, at 2,088 ft (636 m). A looser definition of the East Midlands would include Burton upon Trent in Staffordshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
