GREAT BRITAIN

AN OUTLINE OF GEOGRAPHY AND NATURE

The British Isles lying to the north-west of Europe include two large islands - Great Britain and Ireland and some five thousand small islands.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) consists of the

Island of Great Britain and the northern part of the Ireland (the southern part of which is the Republic of Eire) and a number of small islands especially to the west of Scotland. The country is usually called simply Great Britain.

The island of Great Britain is divided into three parts - England, Wales and Scotland. England and Wales from the southern part of the island and Scotland occupies its northern part.

From the west British isles are washed by the Atlantic Ocean, from the east by the stormy North Sea and the southern coast is washed by the English Channel. The Irish Sea lies between England and Ireland.

Looking at the map one can see that Great Britain is separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel, the narrowest part of which is called the Strait-of-Dover. The south-eastern part of England is quite close to the continent, the Strait-of-Dover is in its narrowest part being only 22 miles wide.

Being comparatively small Britain is known for a variety of scenery found on such a small area. One can find here a low lying land and hilly areas, flat fields as well as lofty mountains. The surface of Eastern England is flat. Scotland and Wales are hilly and mountainous. The mountains are not very high as compared with those of the world, the loftiest one - Ben Nevis (Scotland) being only 4400 feet (134Э m ) in height.

In the West we can see the Cambrian Mountains occupying the greater part of Wales; in the north - the Cheviot Hills separating England from Scotland, the Pennines -to the south of the Cheviot Hills and Cumbrian Mountains famous for the number and beauty of their lakes. There are sixteen lakes here, the largest being Windermere. This part of the country, called Lake District is the most beautiful and the wettest part of Great Britain.

There are many rivers in Great Britain, but none of them is very long as compared wim the greatest rivers of the world and very few of them are navigable except near the mouth for anything but smaller vessels.

The principal rivers are the Severn, the Thames and the Trent. The Severn is the longest river in Britain but the Thames is the most important one. The Severn is 210 miles in length, the Thames is a little over 200 miles.

The seas surrounding the British Isles are shallow - usually less than 300 feet deep. It's too the home of plenty offish, a million tons of which are caught every year. Perhaps you have also noticed that the coast line being irregular contains numerous harbours serving as convenient ports, among which are London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Portsmouth and others. No part of the country is more than 70 miles from the sea.
