The Geographical Position of Great Britain – Географическое положение Великобритании (2)
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles are separated from Europe by the English Channel. The British Isles are washed by the North Sea in the East and the Atlantic Ocean in the West.
The territory of Great Britain is divided into four parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
England is the richest, the 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 plain.
Scotland is a land of mountains. Its highest peak is Ben Nevis.
The British Isles have many rivers. The longest of them is the Severn. It flows into the Irish Sea. The Thames is over 200 miles long. London, the capital of Great Britain, stands on it.
Geographical position of Great Britain is rather good as the country lies on the crossways of the sea routes from Europe to other parts of the world.
