Where is Great Britain Located?

Great Britain is an island situated in north-western Europe, separated from the mainland by the English Channel to the south and the North Sea to the east. Covering approximately 209,000 km², it is the world’s ninth-largest island and Europe’s largest.

The island is home to three distinct nations: England, Scotland and Wales. Together with Northern Ireland — which sits on the island of Ireland — they form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The capital is London, one of the world’s most influential cities, located in south-east England along the River Thames.

To the north lies Scotland, with its rugged highlands and jagged coastlines, whilst to the west Wales overlooks the Irish Sea with mountainous landscapes and a strong Celtic cultural identity. The British coastline stretches for over 17,000 km, touching the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east.

The island’s geographical position has profoundly shaped its history: protected by the sea yet close enough to the continent to foster intense commercial and cultural exchanges, Great Britain managed over the centuries to build one of history’s greatest empires.
