About The United Kingdom
The United Kingdom lies off the north western coast of mainland Europe. It is a soverign state with a total area of about 248,500 square kilometres or 95,900 square miles.
The United Kingdom is between the North Sea and the North Atlantic. It is within 35 km (22 mi) of the north western coast of France and is separated by the English Channel. It shares a 499 km border with the Republic of Ireland (Eire) which is not apart of the United Kingdom.
The geography of the United Kingdom is quite varied. England is mostly lowland terrain, with some mountainous terrain found in the north west. Upland areas include the Pennines, North York Moors, the Lake District, Dartmoor and Exmoor. Scotland is more mountainous than the other countries in the UK. The Highlands are predominantly mountainous, containing the majority of Scotland's mountainous landscape. Like Scotland Wales is also mostly mountainous although less so in the south of Wales. Northern Ireland is mostly hilly and its geography includes Lough Neagh which at 388 square kilometres (150 sq mi) makes it the largest body of water in the United Kingdom.
