The official name of the United Kingdom is the United kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland which refers to the political union of England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland ( Ulster). The UK is part of Europe and is a member of the European Union).
The United Kingdom, often called UK for short, also includes several islands off the British coast: the Isle of Wight, the Orkneys, the Hebrides, the Shetlands, & the Isles of Scilly.
The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are independently administered and are not part of the United Kingdoms of the European Union, yet, they recognize the Queen.
THE BRITISH ISLES
The British Isles is the geographical term which includes all the islands located off the north-west coast of the European Continent: Great Britain, the whole of Ireland (Northern & Southern), and all the offshore islands: the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The British Isles are surrounded by the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, the North Sea & the Atlantic Ocean.
GREAT BRITAIN
Great Britain is the official name given to England, Scotland & Wales. In everyday speech Britain is used to mean the United Kingdom. Great Britain is separated from the rest of Europe by the English Channel. However it is connected to mainland Europe by the Channel Tunnel, known as the Channel.
To the north, England is separated from Scotland by the granite Cheviot Hills. From there, the Pennine Chain of Uplands extends south through the centre of England, for this, it is nicknamed the 'Backbone' of England. Its highest point is in the Lake District in the northwest. To the west along the border of Wales are the Cambrian Mountains, while the Cotswolds Hills, in Gloucestershire, extend into the surrounding shires.
The highest mountains are in Scotland and Wales:
• Ben Nevis is 4,406 feet (1,343 m)
The longest rivers are the rivers:
• Severn 220 miles long
Please note - a few inaccuracies in text which are also in the recording:
'are not part of the United Kingdoms of the European Union'
Should be:
'are not part of the United Kingdom or the European Union'
'However it is connected to mainland Europe by the Channel Tunnel, known as the Channel.'
Should be:
'However it is connected to mainland Europe by the Channel Tunnel, known as the Chunnel.'
In effect, I never hear any British people referring to the Channel Tunnel at The Chunnel though it can be referred to by this name.
