[List of UK Counties]

The only logical thing to do when adding a county drop down to an address field on a form is to display the UK counties in postal districts. These haven't changed in many years.

 

Simply add a user guideline to your form which explains this when users are trying to find the county they live in or change the 'County' label to 'Postal Districts'.

 

FYI, here is a full list of the postal districts throughout the UK:-
