England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are the four countries that makeup what is known as the United Kingdom. Located in the northwest of Europe, this nation’s capital is London. The United Kingdom is known for many things. England is the birthplace of Shakespeare and is also home to Stonehenge. Scotland is known for its castles and Loch Ness, which may or may not be home to a monster named Nessie. Wales is home to Snowdonia National Park, which has hiking trails and lakes. In Northern Ireland, meanwhile, you’ll find the iconic Giant’s Causeway, which is made up of 40,000 basalt rocks.
