See List of ceremonial counties of England by area for a list including metropolitan counties and unitary authorities.
This is a list of non-metropolitan counties of England by area.
It includes those non-metropolitan counties (also known as shire counties) with a two-tier county council structure and does not include metropolitan counties or unitary authorities.
In cases where a unitary authority has been detached from a shire county the area of the unitary authority is excluded. For example, the area of Luton is excluded from the area for Bedfordshire.
