How many English cities can you name with 9 letters or more?

16 December 2020 at 9:21 am·1-min read

England is a nation of amazing cities.

Some of these cities are small, some of them are huge - and some of them are very, very long. Hang on?!

Yes, that’s right, long.

There are some wonderfully named English cities, and a fair chunk of them have more than eight letters.

While we love Ely in Cambridgeshire and Bath in Somerset and Leeds in Yorkshire, there’s nothing quite like a city with a long name.

In this quiz, we’re going to test your geography and your counting skills - can you name 24 English cities whose names have nine letters or more?

We’re only looking for one-word cities, so there’s no Stoke-on-Trent or Kingston upon Hull.

Good luck!
