England
Many people think England is the United Kingdom, but in fact it is just a part. It is by far the largest part of the land mass within Great Britian (geographically the larger of the two British Isles). England is steeped in rich history – every way you turn there is something of historical significance…a castle, a battlefield or even a church graveyard.
