This category provides links to the counties, regions and localities of England, and
to the major topics under which sites may be listed within those locations.
 
All sites in this section of the directory are listed according to location.

No websites are listed at this level.

This is a Regional section of the directory where websites are listed first and foremost by physical location.
Look for the correct geographic category and then, for an appropriate subject category within that location.
If there are no subject categories for that location, suggest the website to the location itself.
 
Your website is more likely to be listed if suggested following the  Guidelines.
The most likely reason a website is not listed under the England categories is that the website does not
show a physical address in England for the  Locality, (Postal Town if the Parish is not listed)
where the website is based, such as the head office of a business.
Exceptions are where the website shows physical addresses including more than one Region,
though if the website shows addresses only the counties of one Region, the website
should be listed in the appropriate topical subcategory there.

Arts and Entertainment

The category tree is for websites about artistic and entertainment activities, events, institutions, organisations, artists, musicians and festivals based in England.

Few sites will qualify for a listing at this level.

We recommend you suggest the website to the most specific  Locality, or if
more than one town the  County, or if more than one county the  Region of England,
If the website shows addresses in more than one region, then it may be eligible to be listed in one of the topical sub-categories here.
If the website relates to more than one country in the UK, then it should probably be listed at a more
specific topical category under UK: Arts and Entertainment.
 
Suggesting inappropriate websites here will only delay review and potential listing by the editors.

Bedfordshire

Bedfordshire lies to the North of Hertfordshire and also adjoins Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.  Its county town is Bedford.

Berkshire

Berkshire is a county in central southern England, about 50 miles long from West to East.  Its main town is Reading, and also includes the towns of Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead to the East, Bracknell and Wokingham in the South, and Newbury to the west.

If the website shows physical addresses in more than one neighbourhood, please suggest it to the
most appropriate sub-category here, not to that for each locality.
Websites comprising only photographs of areas of Bristol are more appropriate for

The sub-topics are shown in their localities, and if this is grey, then clicking restores the view with localities at the top.

Please suggest websites to the most appropriate subcategory of their locality

Only if the website shows the addresses of more than one locality will it be included in one of
the county's topical categories, with the exception of Community, Health or Environmental websites,
providing information of broader interest in Merseyside.
 
If your locality is not listed, then suggest the website to the appropriate subcategory of the postal town,
where it can be added to the  Regional Tree View.
For a locality without its own category:

Please note that there are sub-topics for the major categories which are shown by clicking the dark    symbol right of the Norfolk heading.
The sub-topics are shown in their localities, and if this is grey, then clicking restores the view with localities at the top.

Before suggesting a site please read these general guidelines to verify that you are submitting to the correct category.

Failure to submit to the correct category can increase the time it takes for the site to be reviewed by an editor.

You are presently at "Norfolk" level which has its own sub-categories as well as a breakdown of more specific locations.
Generally sites are listed in there specific locations as opposed to Norfolk level. ie. If you are a business based in Norwich, you would look for the appropriate sub-category under Norfolk: Norwich and suggest the site there. Even if the business offers it service to the whole of Norfolk - submit to the actual physical location of the premises and not to the coverage area.

Businesses should always submit to the Business and Economy category within the locality if one exists.

There are a few instances where your site may be more suited at Norfolk (this) level or one of its immediate sub-categories:-

  • Your business/organisation has more than one physical location in Norfolk ONLY. If you have more locations outside of Norfolk then you should locate a category that covers ALL of your UK locations.
  • Your site has content that is only related to Norfolk as a whole. ie: Perhaps a site that list entertainment events for the whole of the county.
  • Your specific location does not exist and doesn''t have its own sub-category.

Northamptonshire

If your site is not specifically geared towards this location, please submit to the proper category. Submitting to the wrong category will delay and/or prevent your site from being listed in the directory. Submission Tips:

When writing your site''s title please ensure it is the same as your organisation. When writing your site''s description, please tell what your site offers in a clear and concise statement without hype or promotional language. Please ensure the correct use of capitals.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Northumberland

Northumberland is England's most northerly county, and has coastlines and countryside of outstanding natural beauty together with a rich and colourful history dating back to ancient times.
Northumberland is unique. It is the least densely populated County in England; and has its own National Park, the most remote and unspoilt of all the English National Parks. It has its own flag, its own tartan and its own dialect. It has more castles open to the public than any other county.
In Hadrian's Wall, it has the largest world heritage site in the country; and at Kielder, it has the largest man-made lake in Western Europe set in the country's largest man-made forest. It has its own food and drink and even its own distinct birds and wildlife.
It is the only British county with its own musical instrument: The Northumbrian pipes. It even has its own anthem!
Though largely rural, Northumberland provides an ideal environment for business, with an established infrastructure and excellent national and international transport links.

Please do not suggest websites directly to this category.

Only if the website contains the addresses of more than one locality will it be included in
one of the topical categories, with the exception of Community, Health or Education websites
for which there is no locality category yet, or providing information of broader interest in Northumberland.
If your locality is not listed, then suggest the website to the appropriate subcategory of the postal town,
where it can be added to the  Regional Tree View.
For a locality without its own category:

STOP!


We generally do not accept submissions to this category - please submit them to a suitable subcategory - either a town category (preferred) or one of the general categories if your site is aimed at the whole county.

Only sites which are specifically about towns or villages which don''t yet have their own categories should be submitted to this category - all other sites submitted here will be reviewed and then listed in a more appropriate category. Be warned though that submitting your site to the incorrect category could cause considerable delay to its listing.

Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire (abbreviated Oxon) is a county in South East England, bordering on Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire. It is divided into five local government districts - Oxford, Cherwell, Vale of the White Horse, West Oxfordshire and South Oxfordshire. The major centre of population is the city of Oxford. Other large settlements include Bicester, Banbury and Chipping Noton to the north of Oxford; Witney to the west; Thame and Chinnor to the east; and Abingdon, Wantage, Didcot and Henley to the south.
Very few sites will qualify for a listing in this category.

If your site pertains to a particular place in the county which has it''s own category, then your site should be submitted under that category - either directly under it, or in an appropriate sub-category.

If your site relates to the whole (or a significant part) of Oxfordshire, or relates to a locality without its own category, or your business has multiple locations, then please find the most appropriate topical sub-category under Oxfordshire for your site, and submit it there.

Only if there is no suitable sub-category should you submit your site here.

Regions

This category divides the geographical areas of England in to nine Regions, into
which localities are distributed according to their respective Ceremonial Counties.
Websites with localities in more than one ceremonial county are listed in the
appropriate Region, linked from that county.
This category divides England according to the nine political Regions, used as the
constituencies for Members of the European Parliament (MEP)
(formally listed under  Parties ).
Although the future of these constituencies is uncertain, this remains the most
appropriate method of distributing websites geographically.
In the meantime within these regions other constituencies have arisen which span
ceremonial counties in more than one Region.
The first such example was  Humberside, formerly a ceremonial county between 1974
to 1996.  Although abolished then, some organisations still identify with
Humberside so it is included as an alternative linked subcategory here for guidance.
 
Other regions have been combined from districts or unitary authorities from more
than one ceremonial county, and where these have distinctive websites may
justify their own category alongside Humberside.
Until there are sufficient websites, please suggest these to the appropriate existing subcategory,
such as for Metro Mayors elected since 2017:
Landscape features and rivers often span more than one county or Region, and may
justify their own category linked from more than one locality in
UK Topical Science Environment  Landscapes.

No websites should be suggested directly to this category.

Please choose the most appropriate Regions subcategory instead,
following the  Guidance for England.

Rutland

This category leads to websites for one of the smallest ceremonial counties in England,
famous for its artificial lake, Rutland Water.
Rutland has Unitary authority status, and has the lowest population of these; approaching 40,000 in 2019.
Rutland is nestled to the east of the  South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, served by the A1 trunk road from Northamptonshire,
and Eastern England from the south, past Leicestershire on the north to western boundary.
The A606, runs along the north shore of Rutland Water, by-passing the county town of  Oakham,
then serving Melton Mowbray to the north west.
The A6003 runs south from Oakham through the county to Corby, and is crossed at Uppingham by the A47 taking traffic westwards to Leicester.

Please note that there are sub-topics for the major categories which are shown by clicking the dark "Christmas tree" right of the Rutland heading.
The sub-topics are shown in their localities, by clicking   .
If this is grey, then clicking restores the view with localities at the top.

If you suggest websites directly to this level, then they won't be listed here.
Please select a locality that corresponds to the website.
Websites that contain listings in a greater area than Rutland should be considered for
a subcategory of  East Midlands, or related categories.
If the website relates to establishments in only one town, parish or village, then it should be
suggested to that locality, not here, so that it can be added to the   .
Only if the website describes establishments in more than one of the localities represented here,
will they be listed in one of the topical subcategories here.

Science and Environment

Please submit to this category only wildlife websites relevant to the whole of England.

Wildlife websites relevant to specific localities in England should be submitted to the category for that locality and to United Kingdom Wildlife.

Shropshire

Shropshire is a county in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The ceremonial county of Shropshire comprises the administrative county of Shropshire and the Unitary Borough of Telford and Wrekin.
Very few sites will qualify for a listing in this category.

If your site pertains to a particular place in the county which has it''s own category, then your site should be submitted under that category - either directly under it, or in an appropriate sub-category.

If your site relates to the whole (or a significant part) of Shropshire, or relates to a locality without its own category, or your business has multiple locations, then please find the most appropriate topical sub-category under Shropshire for your site, and submit it there.

Only if there is no suitable sub-category should you submit your site here.

Society and Culture

This category includes sites that reflect the make up of the region's community: its people, its history, and resources and institutions that serve the region's people, such as social service organisations.
This category is for websites which cover more than one region or the whole of England and reflect the make up of the country; its people, its history, and resources and institutions that serve the people of the country.
Please ensure that if your site is specific to a particular locality ie. it has a single base in one locality, OR covers either one region OR one county rather than the whole of England or more than one region it is placed within the appropriate topic subcategory for that area and not left here.
Offering a site to the wrong category may delay it being reviewed by an editor for possible inclusion in the directory.
We reserve the right not to list a site in the directory.
Thank you

Somerset

This category leads to websites for the whole of the ceremonial county of Somerset and includes
the two unitary authorities of  North Somerset, and  Bath and North East Somerset,
whereas  Bristol has independent category.
Please try to find the appropriate subcategory based on the locality shown on the website, and
only if the website shows more than one locality, suggest it to a topical category
directly under the county, in the lower priority here.
Despite the Unitary Authorities being independent of Somerset County council, localities are
categories directly under the original ceremonial county.
Where the locality doesn't have a separate category or in the area defined in the category description,
please suggest the website to the district listed at the middle priority, where it can be
added to the  Regional Tree View  .
If you would like to suggest a new locality in the district, please consider submitting an
application to the ‘Become an Editor’ link to suggest three websites that would be appropriate.
The category would be a subcategory of  County, linked from there,
provided you follow the guidelines.
