The United Kingdom is made up of four countries joined together: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each one has its own capital city.
The UK sits on islands with sea all around. The North Sea lies to the east, the English Channel is to the south, and the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean lie to the west.
Imagine a family holiday around the UK. In Manchester, a big city in England, they visit shops and museums. In Cornwall, a region in the south-west, they walk on sandy beaches. In the Highlands, wild mountains in the north of Scotland, they spot deer and lochs.
Look for the Pennines on a map: a line of hills running down the middle of northern England, like a backbone. Land use changes too. Fields and forests from long ago are often towns, roads and cities today.
The UK has four countries, four capitals, seas all around, and hills, mountains and rivers in between.
