Just off the coast of the mainland of north-western Europe and only nineteen miles distant from it at the nearest point lies the small group of islands known as the British Isles.
The British Isles include Great Britain, Ireland and a number of small islands. Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. The southern two thirds of Ireland are occupied by the Irish Republic which borders (on) Northern Ireland.
Great Britain is a region of varied lowlands, rolling hills and few mountains. Although the highest peak, Ben Nevis in the Grampians in Scotland, rises to 4,400 feet, such heights seldom occur. The Pennine Range in northern England rises only slightly over 3,000 feet, as do the Cambrian Mountains in Wales.
In the extreme south of England are the famed chalk hills some of which form the Dover Cliffs.
