Information
South Yorkshire is a metropolitan county in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England. It consists of four metropolitan boroughs: Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield.

South Yorkshire lies largely on the carboniferous rocks which have produced a rolling landscape with hills, escarpments and broad valleys. To the east, in the Doncaster area the landscape becomes flatter as the land is overlain by the lacustrine deposits of the Humberhead Levels.

Although the county council was abolished, South Yorkshire remains a metropolitan and ceremonial county with a Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire and a High Sheriff.
