The bare minimum, that even someone with no English would recognise, is around five (Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish and South and North England). People who live here can probably reliably distinguish between twenty and fifty. Of course, everyone sees more variation the closer it is to their own, so I think there is a clear difference between Cornish, Devon and Somerset, while to someone from Aberdeen they all just sound "westcountry".

Official figures are around 56, and those are the major accent types! Locals can differentiate accents to an even finer degree. For example, Yorkshire is listed as one accent, but locals can distinguish differences in accents between towns just ten minutes drive apart!
