Dear friends! Let's visit the most mysterious country in the world! ENGLAND England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly , and the Isle of Wight.

According to one of the historical theories, when the Romans first saw England they called those white chalk cliffs and the land behind them "Albion", meaning a "White Land". Since those times Albion is the poetic name of England. Lake District (or Cumbria ) in Northern England is very famous and its lakes, hills and valleys make it an excellent place for having rest.

Слайд 5

Toponymy The name "England" is derived from the Old English name Englaland , which means "land of the Angles". According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known use of "England" to refer to the southern part of the island of Great Britain occurs in 897, and its modern spelling was first used in 1538.

Mysterious Stonehenge Stonehenge is probably the most recognisable and enigmatic stone circle in Britain. The structure has fascinated people for centuries, and there are many theories as to what purpose it was put to by ancient man.

It is a city of contrasts.
