Dyfed does not exist as a county.

Problem reported by Beverley Harrison-Wood 11 years ago

Dyfed is not a county and has not been for many years. Postcode to address finder displays Dyfed. Now one of three counties - Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion or Carmarthenshire

Thanks for letting us know Beverley,

We will need to work with the provider of our postcode data to identify why it is not up to date.

Thanks

Tim

While we're on the subject, being a resident of Peterborough, I thought I was in Cambridgeshire not Northamptonshire

Hi Beverley,

It's not easy to determine counties from a postcode in a way that works for everyone - the address data we use comes from Royal Mail, who have abolished counties for postal purposes, so officially speaking counties should not be included in addresses at all.

This means they no longer keep this data updated and Dyfed is the only county they provide for the postcodes in question. Unfortunately there isn't a great deal we can do about this situation, so in these cases where the county isn't up to date or appropriate you will have to enter it manually.
