英国(England)是欧洲最大的岛国,位于欧洲大陆西海岸外的不列颠群岛上.这个国家包括英格兰(England)、威尔士(wales)、苏格兰(scotland
)和北爱尔兰(Northern Ireland)四个部分,由于英格兰在全国的地位重要,人口又占绝大多数,所以习惯上把联合王国简称为英格兰或英
国.
英国是个美丽的国家,文物古迹比比皆是,自然风景秀丽可餐,旅游资源丰富。许多城市,如“万城之花”伦敦,“北方雅典”爱丁堡,大学城牛津、
剑桥,古色古香的约克城,莎翁故乡斯特拉特福都是享有世界声誉的旅游名城。英国还辟有湖区等几十座国家公园和风景保护区。目前,被联合国列入
世界文化和自然遗产的名胜古迹和天然景观就有14处,即伦敦塔、威斯敏斯特宫(国会大厦)、布伦海姆宫(牛津附近),坎特伯雷主教堂、巴斯城、
索尔兹伯里郊区的巨石阵等遗迹,铁桥峡,方廷斯修道院及园林、达勒姆的大教堂和古城堡、哈德良长城,圭内斯的城堡群,苏格兰的圣基尔达群岛,
北爱兰的“巨人之路”和太平洋上的英国属地享德森珊瑚岛。它们富有特色、各擅其长,都是极受游客青睐的观光热点。
England’s eventful history and scenic diversity render it one of the world’s most popular visitor destinations. United as a single
nation over 1000 years ago, its origins go back to the dawn of civilization, and the variety of interest it offers reflects this.
From prehistoric Stonehenge to 21st-century attractions like the London Eye, its inhabitants have contributed much to the appeal of
the UK’s largest constituent country. This is not restricted to a material legacy either – England’s cultural mix is rich, thanks
to the many invaders, settlers and immigrants who have arrived on its shores through the millennia. Countless others around the globe
share aspects of customs, language and history with the English themselves.
