    England and Wales are divided into counties that date back over 1,000 years. The borders were formed by historical accidents rather than geography. England has three main regions - the North, Midlands, and South. The North is hilliest, the Midlands run from Severn Estuary to Wash, and the South is subdivided into Southeast around London, East Anglia northeast of London, and West Country southwest of England. Wales has mostly hills, with South Wales densely populated around Cardiff and Swansea, and sparsely populated North Wales full of hills and valleys. Scotland has Lowlands from English border to narrowest point with most population, and Highlands covering half of Scotland with few people but lochs, mountains,

    ttel: Divisions within the Country


    England
    England and Wales are divided into conties, which are of early medaeval origin and, look
    back to a tousand years of history. Many of them have the shire in their name
    because this was the old Anglo-Saxon word for county. The borders are historical
    accidents and most of them do not correspond to geographical or political regions.
    Three main regions:
    -

    The North: hilliest section of Britain from Midland to the Scottish border.
    The Midlands: from Severn estuary to the Wash. The line separating the midlands
    from the North starts from the nothern edge of Wales and ends at the Wash as well.
    It looks like a triangle with Birmingham in the middle.
    The South: subdivided into 3 regions
    the Southeast: London area and the sorrounding counties. Good career
    opportunities, great business life. The most densely populated and expensive.
    East Anglia: Easternmost part of England,/ the peninsula north-east of London/
    the West Country: South-western England, the peninsula south of Wales.
    The last two are relatively sparsely populated rural areas but they tave
    beautiful coastlines and scenery.

    Wales
    Mostly covered by hills. Highest point: Snowdon/1085/.
    Two main regions:
    -

    South Wales: densely populated area of the country. Int he river valleys large cities
    Cardiff and Swansea are found.
    North Wales: very small population. Full of hills and valleys.

    Scotland
    Two main regions:
    -

    the Lowlands: from the English border to the narrowest part of the isle. It has a most
    fertile land in Scotland and contains the great majority of the population including the
    big cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh and the great part of Dundee.
    the Highlands: cover half of Scotland , but theoir population is extremely small. We
    can find several lochs, beautiful mountains and rugged coastline.
    Highest point: Ben Nevis/1342/ also the highest point of Britain.

    Longest river: Severn- rises in Wales and after making a bend in West Midlands flows
    into the Atlantic ocean.
    Best known river: Thames which rises in the Midlands cross England in a south-easterly
    direction and flows into the North Sea.
