East Midlands, Administrative region in central England

East Midlands is an administrative region in central England that spans six counties: Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, and Rutland. The territory runs from the hills of the Peak District to the flat expanses of the Lincolnshire Fens.

Textile mills, coal mines, and engineering workshops transformed the economy during the Industrial Revolution. The cities of Nottingham and Leicester grew into important centers for stocking and shoe production.

The region maintains numerous medieval churches, industrial heritage sites, traditional market towns, and annual festivals that represent centuries of English traditions.

An airport sits between Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester with connections to several European cities. Motorways and railway lines connect the larger towns across the region and to the rest of the country.

The highest point sits on Kinder Scout in the Peak District, a plateau at roughly 2,087 feet (636 meters). Hikers reach the summit via several marked trails that cross moorland.
