Pavel’s travel diary

Look at the map of the British Isles. You can see them in the north-west of mother Europe. Do you know the name of the two largest islands? This is Great Britain and Ireland. In addition, there are more than five hundred small islands. Together they are the social United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Britain for short. This is where I came some time ago.

As Britain is separated from the continent by the English Channel, I had three options: take a plane or cross it by ferry or train through the Channel Tunnel. I chose the longest and most popular way to travel and here I was landing at Gatwick Airport, 43 kilometers south of London (as the leaflet I picked up on the info page said).

I couldn’t believe my eyes: pretty good scenery and 2000 years old

stories were waiting for me to explore. Admittedly, that’s easy to say

than done, after that this island state consists of four lands: England, Wales, Scotland,

land and Northern Ireland. My first destination was England, as it is

the largest and most densely populated of the four. I already bought the postcards

quite famous natural attractions such as the rivers Thames and Mersey,

the southeastern coast, sandy or muddy, with chalk cliffs in places.

The Pennines run down England almost like a ridge, and the Lake District,

Of course.

To the west of England is Wales. With its own charm, it is home to Mount Snowdon, over 1,000m high, the capital Cardiff, leeks, daffodils and the red dragon as the national symbol of the Welsh country. I can’t wait to visit Wales!

If I get a chance to go to the north of England, I’ll end up in Scotland.

land sometime and enjoy the highlands and lowlands, many beautiful

rivers and lakes (called lakes), the legendary thistle and heather covering

mountain slopes Maybe I’ll finally solve the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster! Hooray! And last but not least — Northern Ireland. The nearest point is only 21 km from Scotland. It is separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea. It has a border in the south and west with the Republic of Ireland. At its center lies Loch Ney, the UK’s largest freshwater lake. The whole island is famous for its

a beautiful, green area, which is why it is sometimes called Emerald

Island.

I can’t wait to see it all!

A few more facts about Great Britain

You probably know that the official or political name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, in the United Nations and the European Parliament, it is usually known by its shorter name: United Kingdom or the abbreviation Great Britain.

We often refer to the country as Britain. In addition, there is also a poetic name for the country, Albion. The geographical name of the country is the British Isles, because the country occupies islands called the British Isles. For this reason, it has a single land border with Ireland and a sea border with France.

Like all other countries, Great Britain has its own symbol — the flag. It is called the Union Flag and also the Union Jack. You may ask me why this name? Then you should know that in 1603, King James I (or Jack for short) of England united England and Scotland. Then in 1801 there was a union with Ireland. Now the flag combines elements of three countries (England, Scotland and Northern Ireland) united under one nation. Wales not represented in flag, because at the time of the appearance of the flag in 1606, Wales was already united with England.

Look at the Union Jack. It is a combination of the three crosses of the country’s three patron saints: the red cross of St. George for England on a white background; white diagonal cross of St. Patrick of Ireland on a white background.

As for the national coat of arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, it shows the union of its four parts.

There are emblems for each part of Great Britain: the emblem of England (three lions on a red background), the emblem of Scotland (a red lion on a yellow background), the emblem of Wales (St David and a daffodil) and the coat of arms of Northern Ireland (a yellow harp on a blue background).

Two emblems of English lions symbolize the leading role of English.

land in this union. The shield is supported by two mythical animals: Eng.

only a lion and a Scottish unicorn. The emblem is crowned with a crown

lion, a symbol of power and might. Also, below the emblem, there

these are the four floral symbols of the four parts of the country. Do you know them? It is a red rose for England, a wild plant called Thistle for Scotland, a vegetable called leek for Wales and another wild plant called Shamrock for Northern Ireland. In conclusion, I would name the historical colors of parts of Great Britain: England — white; Scotland — Blue; Wales — Red; Northern Ireland — Green.

Sports teams of nations wear these colors.
