occupies the entire island east of Wales and south of Scotland.
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.

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.
