The United Kingdom (UK) is a dynamic and vibrant country, consisting of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. The UK has been shaped by its heritage and is a country known for its history and its traditions.
We have many famous icons, people and inventions to be proud of – some which you have probably heard of before, for example the Beatles, Big Ben, Queen Elizabeth, David Beckham, Stonehenge, The Edinburgh Tattoo and The London Eye, and some of which you might not be so familiar with, like our innovations in architecture, design, science and technology and climate change.
Through this web site we hope to give you a ‘glimpse’ of the UK and hope you develop a greater understanding about our country in the 21st century.
