Map of United Kingdom Regions
The United Kingdom is divided into 12 first-level statistical regions: Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and nine regions of England. These ITL1 areas are used for government statistics, funding and planning. ITL replaced the former NUTS system after Brexit but mirrors it, so the ITL1 regions are the same as the former NUTS1 regions.
Use the interactive maps below to explore these regions and their boundaries. Download free maps or learn more about creating a custom UK regions map to highlight your own data.
