Ceremonial county of Durham

The ceremonial county of Durham is a ceremonial county located in the North-East of England.

Under Lieutenancies Act 1997, the non-metropolitan county of Durham (including unitary Darlington), together with that part of the former county of Cleveland north of the River Tees became a county for ceremonial purposes (reflecting the southern historic and administrative county boundaries). The ceremonial county of Durham is the area to which lord-lieutenants and high sheriffs are appointed, and has no role in local government.
