The Geographical Position of Great
Britain
The United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland covers an area of some 244
thousand square miles. It is situated on the British Isles. The
British Isles are separated from Europe by the Strait of Dover and the
English Channel. The British Isles are washed by the North Sea in the east and
the Atlantic Ocean in the west.
The population
of Great Britain is about 60 million. The largest cities of the country are
London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The territory of Great Britain is divided into four parts: England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland.
England is in
the southern and central part of Great Britain. Scotland is in the north of the
island. Wales is in the west. Northern Ireland is situated in the north-eastern
part of Ireland.
England is the
richest, the most fertile and most populated part in the country. There are
mountains in the north and in the west of England, but all the rest of the
territory is a vast plain. In the northwestern part of England there are many
beautiful lakes. This part of the country is called Lake District.
Scotland is a
land of mountains. The Highlands of Scotland are among the oldest mountains in
the world. The highest mountain of Great Britain is in Scotland too. The chain
of mountains in Scotland is called the Grampians. Its highest peak is Ben
Nevis. It is the highest peak not only in Scotland but in the whole Great
Britain as well. In England there is the Pennine Chain. In Wales there are the
Cumbrian Mountains.
There are no
great forests on the British Isles today. Historically, the most famous forest
is Sherwood Forest in the east of England, to the north of London. It was
the home of Robin Hood, the famous hero of a number of legends.
The British
Isles have many rivers but they are not very long. The longest of the English
rivers is the Severn. It flows into the Irish Sea. The most important river of
Scotland is the Clyde. Glasgow stands on it. Many of the English and Scottish
rivers are joined by canals, so that it is possible to travel by water
from one end of Great Britain to the other.
The Thames is
over 200 miles long. It flows through the rich agricultural and industrial
districts of the country. London, the capital of Great Britain, stands on it.
The Thames has a wide mouth, that's why the big ocean liners can go up to the
London port.
Geographical
position of Great Britain is rather good as the country lies on the crossways
of the see routes from Europe to other parts of the world. The sea connects
Britain with most European countries such as Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway
and some other countries. The main sea route from Europe to America also passes
through the English Channel.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on
the British Isles and lies to the north-west of continental Europe. It is separated
from the continent by the English Channel and the Strait of Dover in the south
and the North Sea in the east. In everyday speech the term “Great Britain” is
often applied to the United Kingdom as a whole.
The British Isles
consist of two main islands (Great Britain and Ireland) and a large group of
smaller islands. Great Britain is separated from Ireland by the Irish Sea.
Historically the territory of Great Britain is divided into 3 parts: England,
Scotland and Wales. It doesn’t include Northern Ireland. The population of
Great Britain is over 60 million people. The total area is 209 000 km2 (two
hundred and nine thousand square kilometers).
The British landscape is very varied. Geographically the
island of Great Britain is made up of three main regions: Lowland, Midland and
Highland Britain. The Midlands occupy central counties of England. This is a
region of valleys and low hills. Lowland Britain covers the territory of
eastern and southern England. Highland Britain comprises Scotland, most of Wales,
the Pennine Chain and the Lake District in England. Scotland and Wales are the
most mountainous parts of Great Britain. Ben Nevis in Scotland is the highest
point (1343 metres). Along the western coast runs the mountain range of
Cumberland. The Cheviot Hills mark the boundary between England and Scotland.
The rivers in Great Britain are quite short and most of
them flow in the eastward direction. The rivers (the Thames, the Severn, the
Tweed, the Trent, the Tyne) never freeze in winter and allow all-year
navigation.
