Preserved counties of Wales
Ceremonial divisions of Wales for lieutenancy and shrievalty purposes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Historic counties of Wales.
The preserved counties of Wales (Welsh: siroedd cadwedig) are the eight current areas used in Wales for the ceremonial purposes of lieutenancy and shrievalty. They are based on the counties which were used for local government and other purposes between 1974 and 1996. Each comprises one or more of the 22 single-tier principal areas which are used for administrative purposes.
