The South is a major agricultural region of Great Britain. However, agricultural specialization is different in the South West and South East and East. Due to the mild, moist climate of the South West, grass grows for a long period in the year, and farming chiefly consists of raising livestock. Dairying is the main farming activity. Cereals occupy an important part of the arable farmland in the South East and East with wheat and barley as the main crops. The East consists of East Anglia and the Fens and is described today as reclaimed marshland, where cereal crops dominate. Market gardening and fruit farming are widespread in the south due to the demands of Greater London.

To the west of the continent of Europe lie two large islands. The larger of them is called Great Britain, and the smaller, Ireland. These two and 5,500 smaller islands form the British Isles.
The island of Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. The isle of Ireland is divided into Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The UK (the United Kingdom) is the official name of the country, occasionally referred to as Great Britain, which is, strictly speaking, only a geographic name.
Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea from the west, by the North Sea from the north and west. It is separated from the European continent by the English Channel. The narrowest part of the English Channel is called the Strait of Dover. The UK is not a very large country. Its territory is about 244,000 square kilometers, and no point of the country is more than 120 kilometers away from the sea.
Geographically, the UK has a very convenient position, being located on the crossroads from Europe to America. This is one of the reasons why Britain was (and is up to the present time) one of the leading world powers. The capital of the country is London. It is situated on the river Thames.
