==Subdivisions== The region covers much of the historical area of [[Wessex]] (omitting only [[Hampshire]] and [[Berkshire]]), and all of the Celtic Kingdom of [[Dumnonia]] which comprised Cornwall, Devon, and parts of Somerset and Dorset. In terms of local government, it was divided after 1974 into [[Avon (county)|Avon]], Cornwall, [[Devon]], Dorset, [[Gloucestershire]], Somerset, and [[Wiltshire]]. Avon has since been abolished, and several mainly urban areas have become [[Unitary authority#England|unitary authorities]]. {{Clear}}<!-- Break inserted to ensure that the table doesn't hit overlap images --> ===Local government=== The official region consists of the following geographic counties and local government areas: {| class="wikitable" |- !Map ||Ceremonial county||Non-metropolitan county || Non-metropolitan districts |- | rowspan="15" |[[File:SouthWest-local-government-2019.jpg|300x300px]]|| rowspan="3" |[[Somerset]] || colspan="2" | 1.
