Hmm, I fee like you're missing a few counties, for example Northern Ireland has more than 6 counties: https://github.com/deldersveld/topojson/blob/master/countries/united-kingdom/uk-counties.json

Northern Ireland only has 6 counties. The areas listed in the map above appear to be outdated local government districts.

Avon is old, you'd need Bristol, BANES, north somerset etc
