Geography of England |
England comprises the central and southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain, plus offshore islands of which the largest is the Isle of Wight. It is bordered to the north by Scotland and to the west by Wales. It is closer to Continental Europe than any other part of Britain, divided from France only by a 21-mile (34-km) sea gap...
The top six cities England ranked by size are Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Liverpool and Manchester. Note that London is not on this list as Greater London is a region and the actual City of London is tiny.
The Channel Tunnel, near Folkestone, links England to the European mainland. The English-French border is halfway along the tunnel.
The highest temperature ever recorded in England was 38.5°C (101.3 °F) on August 10, 2003 in Kent. [1]
