East Midlands, Administrative region in central England
The East Midlands extends across six counties, including Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, and Rutland, covering diverse terrains from plains to hills.
During the Industrial Revolution, the East Midlands developed into a manufacturing center with textile mills, coal mines, and engineering facilities transforming the regional economy.
The region maintains numerous medieval churches, industrial heritage sites, traditional market towns, and annual festivals that represent centuries of English traditions.
The East Midlands Airport connects the region to European destinations, while an extensive network of railways and motorways links major cities like Nottingham and Leicester.
