Where is England located

  • It is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers roughly 62% of the island of Great Britain, which is in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.

Geographical features of england

  • England consists of mostly lowland terrain, with upland or mountainous terrain only found north-west of the Tees–Exe line. The upland areas include the Lake District, the Pennines, North York Moors, Exmoor and Dartmoor.

Climate of england

  • The overall climate in England is called temperate maritime. This means that it is mild with temperatures not much lower than 0ºC in winter and not much higher than 32ºC in summer. It also means that it is damp and is subject to frequent changes. July and August are normally the warmest month in England.

History of england

  • England became inhabited more than 800,000 years ago, as the discovery of stone tools and footprints at Happisburgh in Norfolk have indicated. The earliest evidence for early modern humans in Northwestern Europe, a jawbone discovered in Devon at Kents Cavern in 1927, was re-dated in 2011 to between 41,000 and 44,000 years old. Continuous human habitation in England dates to around 13,000 years ago (see Creswellian), at the end of the Last Glacial Period. The region has numerous remains from the MesolithicNeolithic and Bronze Age, such as Stonehenge and Avebury. In the Iron Age, all of Britain south of the Firth of Forth was inhabited by the Celtic people known as the Britons, including some Belgic tribes (e.g. the Atrebates, the Catuvellauni, the Trinovantes, etc.) in the south east. In AD 43 the Roman conquest of Britain began; the Romans maintained control of their province of Britannia until the early 5th century.

Customs and traditions

  • England’s rich customs and traditions are famous across the world. English culture frequently gets associated with copious amounts of tea drinking, the British Royal family and good manners.
  • However, English culture goes far deeper than these internationally recognised hallmarks and is evolving all the time. Day to day conversations do go beyond the weather, bake-off and football, we promise!
  • It can be difficult at times to separate English culture from the perceived culture of the United Kingdom as a whole. However, like its neighbouring countries of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, England has a unique and vibrant culture filled with its own idiosyncrasies.
  • Get to know the country that inspired countless literary, cinematic and musical masterpieces, taste your way around a cuisine heavily influenced by a colonial past and experience our wicked sense of humour.

Political system of england

  • England has a distinct system of local government, which has evolved over the centuries. The shires, or historic counties, that developed during Anglo-Saxon times persisted as geographic, cultural, and administrative units for about a thousand years. In 1888 the Local Government Act regularized the administrative functions of the counties and redrew some of the boundaries of the historic counties to create new administrative counties, including the county of London, formed from parts of the historic counties of MiddlesexSurrey, and Kent.

Economy of England

  • The economy of England is the largest economy of the four countries of the United Kingdom. England's economy is one of the largest and most dynamic in the world, with an average GDP per capita of £34,690. His Majesty's Treasury, led by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is responsible for developing and executing the government's public finance policy and economic policy. Government involvement is also primarily exercised by the Department for Business and Trade and Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.

tourism of england

  • The country's principal tourist destinations are LondonEdinburghOxfordCambridgeYork, and Canterbury. The United Kingdom hosts a total of 32 World Heritage sites, the 8th most in the world. The Lonely Planet travel guide voted England number 2, after Bhutan, as one of the best countries to visit in 2020. Some of the most popular cities include LondonEdinburgh and Manchester and notable attractions include the Palace of Westminster, the London Eye and Edinburgh Castle.
