The old Latin name was Anglia. It occupies the entire island east of Wales and
south of Scotland.
The
eastern side is bounded by the North Sea. The border in the north with Scotland
extends from the Solway Firth in the west along the Cheviot Hills to the mouth
of the Tweed on the east. The bottom part of the triangle fronts the English Channel
and the Strait of Dover along the southwestern and southern coast of England with
the Isle
of Wight.
The
north and west are generally mountainous with the principal highland region being
the Pennines. The country has many beautiful areas, The Lake District, Sussex,
the Home Counties, East Anglia, Devon & Cornwall to name but a few.
The
climate varies on average from 4 degrees C to 18 degrees C. England covers 130,410
sq km (50,352 sq mi), equivalent to 57 per cent of the area of Great Britain.

England
has the highest level of population of the three countries. There are holiday
areas throughout the country and a wealth of history to discover.
Communications
are
good with an excellent motorway network (that is Free and only has a few tolls
- river crossings, section near Birmingham etc) although in the peak holiday periods
in summer some of these become very congested. Connections to mainland Europe
are excellent with the Channel Tunnel (direct passenger trains from London to
Paris or Brussels) and Dover being the busiest cross channel car ferry port in
Britain.
South
of Portsmouth is the Isle of Wight and the Scilly Isles are located off the coast
of Cornwall. Cuisine is very good and England is famous for its pubs. You can
normally eat very well in a pub and enjoy a pint of beer or a glass of wine or
two with your meal.
