England is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
England is a relatively small country, but despite its size, it has played a significant role in many important events in world history. The Industrial Revolution first began in England and its Parliamentary system has been adopted by many nations around the world.
With flat fenlands in the east and rolling farmland in the south, to the Pennines peaks dividing the northern counties, England has a stunningly beautiful landscape with something to please everyone.
