See also Midlands (disambiguation).

In general, the midlands of a territory are its central regions. The Midlands (with a capital M) usually means the English Midlands, which broadly correspond to the early-medieval kingdom of Mercia.

The area lies between Southern England, Northern England, East Anglia and Wales, and is generally considered to include the counties of Derbyshire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire.
