About England

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north. The Irish Sea lies northwest and the Celtic Sea to the southwest. The North Sea lies to the east and the English Channel to the south, separating it from continental Europe.

England's landscape ranges from the rugged moorlands of Dartmoor and the Yorkshire Dales to the gentle chalk downs of the South and the flat fenlands of East Anglia. The Lake District in Cumbria harbours England's highest peak and most dramatic scenery, while the Thames Valley cradles centuries of political and cultural history from Windsor to Westminster. England gave the world the Industrial Revolution, the English language, parliamentary democracy, and the works of Shakespeare and Newton. Its cities — London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol — are among the most cosmopolitan on earth, each with a distinct character shaped by centuries of trade, migration and invention. The coastline stretches over 2,700 kilometres, from the white cliffs of Dover to the wild headlands of Northumberland, connecting the country to the sea that has defined its history.
