About the Midlands
Encompassing the counties of Derbyshire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, the West Midlands metropolitan boroughs and Worcestershire, the Midlands is characterised by mainly low lying and flat lands, although places such as Turners Hill and Shropshire Hills offer some variety. Shropshire Hills has peaks with altitudes of over 500m and The Peak District is home to Kinder Scout that stands at 636m.
With big hitting cities such as Birmingham, the region is a hive of productivity and activity, with a population of 10.135 million people according to the last OCSI Census in 2011. The Midlands pretty much span the central area of England, and the region has an industrial background and even now, manufacturers such as Rolls Royce are based there.
The Midlands, and especially its larger towns and cities, is home to a diverse mix of people and the area is a superb place for study, work and opportunity. The ONS give employment figures for West Midlands as 75.7% in January 2017, which is higher than many other regions such as the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the North West, but not quite as attractive as the South East (78.5%), South West (78.2%) and the East (76.6%).
