The non-metropolitan counties were originally created in 1974 as part of a reform of local government in [[England and Wales]], and were the top tier of a two-tier system of counties and [[Districts of England|districts]]. 21 non-metropolitan counties still use a two-tier system; 56 are [[Unitary authorities of England|unitary authorities]], in which the functions of a county and district council have been combined in a single body. [[Berkshire]] has a unique structure.
 
Non-metropolitan counties cover the majority of England with the exception of [[Greater London]], the [[Council of the Isles of Scilly|Isles of Scilly]], and the six [[Metropolitan county|metropolitan counties]]: [[Greater Manchester]], [[Merseyside]], [[South Yorkshire]], [[Tyne and Wear]], [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]] and [[West Yorkshire]].
