The Geography of Britain
Britain is an island country that is surrounded by three seas: the
North Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. Britain
separated from Ireland and Northern Ireland by the Irish Sea
and from France by the English Channel. The most
mountainous areas are in the north of Britain: the Highlands
and Southern Uplands of Scotland. The southern part of Britain
contains smaller mountain ranges such as the Pennines in
England and Cambrian Mountains in Wales and the rolling hills
of England such as the Downs. England also has most of the
flatland such as drained marshlands called the Fens and the
moors of Devon and Cornwall. The south part of Britain also
has the greatest number of rivers and canals while the northern
part has many narrow lakes called lochs and sea inlets called
firths.
