You asked

Please provide me with a list containing:

• Names, area measurements and populations of all 'detached' parts of civil parishes within the United Kingdom, any objective information as to why these exclaves exist
• All 'detached' parts of wards within the United Kingdom
• All 'detached' parts of districts within the United Kingdom (probably none)

We said

Thank you for your request.

The associated download 'Detached parishes and wards in England and Wales' contains the requested information for England and Wales.

Unfortunately, we do not hold equivalent information about Scotland or Northern Ireland. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) may be better placed to help with this information. They can be contacted at Contact Us | National Records of Scotland and at info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.
