Where is England?

Question 1: Where is Britain? England (English: England), translated as "Britain", is the main part of the territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so it is customary for the word England to refer to Britain in general.

England is located in the southeast of Great Britain, south of Scotland and east of Wales. It also includes the Isle of Wight, the Sealy Islands and coastal islands, covering an area of about 654.38+0.3 million square kilometers. It is the largest, most populous and most developed area in Britain. Historically, Hadrian's Great Wall was the dividing line between England and Scotland.

Angles refer to people who live in Anglelin Peninsula in Schleswig, Germany (German: Angeln, narrow sense; The word "Angeln" has the same origin as "agnail" in English and "eng" in German. Latin transliteration: Anglia, a Germanic, moved to present-day England after the Roman Empire occupied Britain in AD 42. Therefore, the word "England" can be understood as "the territory to which people who used to live in the Anglo Peninsula (the peninsula near the narrow water) moved".

Pennines runs through the north and the middle, with an average elevation of 200-500m. There are coal and iron resources on both sides of the mountain. The southeast is a plain with little ups and downs, and the climate is warm and humid. The main rivers are Thames, Severn and Trent.

The population of England is 52,707,400 (2065,438+July 2002), accounting for 83.6% of the British population. The average population density is 404 people per square kilometer, which is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and the urban population accounts for 80%.

The name engla-London comes from the "Angles", formerly known as "engla-London", which means "the land of the Angles". They followed the Celts to this place and belonged to the Germanic nation.

Question 2: What parts of England make up Britain?

Full name: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in which Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales, and its capitals are London, Edinburgh and Cardiff.

Northern Ireland and Ireland are on another smaller island, Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, and Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

Britain, Ireland and the United States make up most of the British Isles. Northern Ireland wants to leave Britain and merge into the Republic of Ireland, which is also a major social contradiction within Britain at present.

The territory of Britain consists of northeast Ireland, the whole island of Great Britain and surrounding islands, and is divided into four regions: Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. Among them, Northern Ireland is located on the island of Ireland, and the other three regions are located on the mainland of Great Britain. People used to call these three areas the British Isles.

They are all the top 30 universities in Britain.

Needless to say, Oxford and Cambridge are awesome as long as they can apply for any major. Imperial College has stricter application requirements for some majors than Niu Jian, and the science and engineering majors are excellent, but it is difficult to apply every year. London's political economy is very good, the application requirement is about 85, and IELTS is about 7.0. The business major of Warwick University is a strong major, and some majors need professional background, with an average score of about 80 and IELTS 6.5~7.0. It is difficult to apply for theology and psychology related majors at St Andrews University. Economics requires a score of about 3.3, and IELTS is above 6.5. Several members of the royal family graduated from St. Andrews University and held a high position in the hearts of British people. Durham University has a strong professional strength in education, English, chemistry, law, mathematics and economics, with an average score of about 80 and an IELTS score of 6.5 or above.

Question 7: Where is King Arthur's hometown in England? Recent archaeological research points out that in his imaginary life, the Saxon had a date date. His power is likely to be rooted in Wales, Cornwall or Celtic in western England. However, the debate about the center and scope of his power and what powers he has continues to this day.

Question 8: Apart from London, what is the most worthwhile county in Britain? 1. Windsor and Eton, the residence of the Queen and the cradle of the elite.

It's less than 1 hour by train from London to Windsor. This is the Queen's official residence, Windsor Castle, and the Queen's old lady has lived here for a long time. There is also a legend that the Duke of Windsor "does not love mountains and rivers, but loves beauty". If you think the crowd at the gate of Buckingham Palace can't get in, Windsor Castle also holds a changing ceremony for the guards wearing bearskin hats and red uniforms, and the changing team will line up all the way to the streets of Windsor. In Eaton, just across the Thames, you must have heard of Eton College, the legendary cradle of Gao Fushuai's elite, and the small shops on Eaton Street are also quite lovely.

2. Oxford, in parallel with the master literati

This small town with a history of 1000 years has a typical British flavor. Oxford University, a famous university, is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Its library, students' canteen, and internal scenes of the college have all appeared in Harry Potter movies. Walking in the city is full of old buildings, and there are almost no traces of modern life. There are also many museums in Oxford. The natural history museum is like a cathedral, with a whole dinosaur skeleton under the ceiling. Ashmolean museum collects ancient installations and pendants, which are easy to visit and free of charge. This is Lewis? Carol's Alice in Wonderland is a source of inspiration, and there is also an Alice theme shop.

3. Cambridge, indulging in the soft waves of the river.

Newton is thinking here and Xu Zhimo is rowing here. Compared with Oxford, the atmosphere in the university town is more peaceful. It is natural to row a boat on the He Kang River. Cambridge is more like a university trip. You can hear legends of various colleges, such as kings with chairs and legs, bridges built without nails, apples that hit Newton's head and so on. In Cambridge University, there is a poem tablet for Xu Zhimo to bid farewell to Cambridge, and in the cemetery outside Cambridge, there is the tomb of Barbara Yung, a beautiful woman.

4. Bathtub, pure classical style

If there is only one place to go outside London, I would recommend Bath, which is a small town with the best preserved ancient scenery in England. There are ancient ruins of ancient Roman baths (with hot springs), beautiful monasteries with stained glass, and a super imposing semi-circular row house-Royal Crescent. Jane Austen once lived in Bath, and her former residence can also be visited. Sally Lunn's teahouse is a must for afternoon tea and steamed buns. It takes about 1.5 hours by train from London, and you can go back and forth on the same day. Stonehenge next to Bath is deceptive, so don't go. ...

York has a strong medieval style.

This is my favorite town in the northeast of England. A very romantic medieval city. The city retains ancient city walls, churches and streets, and there are many specialty shops and teahouses all over the city. York Cathedral is one of the most beautiful Gothic churches in the world. The old streets of York are like the streets of the Middle Ages. Walking along the city wall is particularly pleasant, and all kinds of shops sell interesting things. Betty's in York is one of the best teahouses in Britain. His afternoon tea and snacks are so delicious that it makes people cry!

6. Winchester, the old capital of England

This is the capital of Hampshire in the south of England, the richest rich area in Britain! There is a large Winchester Cathedral, the round table of King Arthur's knights, and an ancient mill, where you can see the grinding process. Fortunately, you can also see otters passing downstream of the waterwheel. There is a small river full of green trees for walking, and you can also see wooden huts like small towns in Germany. This is the place where I have seen the most street performers, probably because of the money. Everyone in the town is very modest and calm, and the atmosphere is very good.

7. Windermere and Glassmere, secluded places in the Lake District.

Britain's famous Lake District may be called unworthy by many people. The scenery is really not magnificent, simple and pure. This is the idyllic scenery that the poet Wordsworth loves. The poet Keats once wrote: "Whether young or old, rich or poor, Windermere makes people forget the differences in life." There are cruise ships and steam trains to take, sheep full of mountains to flirt with, and lovely Peter rabbit. The B&B here is great, there are teahouses everywhere, and life is delicious. It is the most suitable place for a holiday in Britain, and it is best to play in the lake area for about 3 days.
