Place Description

England is a country that forms part of the United Kingdom and occupies approximately 62 percent of the island of Great Britain, together with more than 100 smaller adjacent islands. It shares a land border with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west and is bounded by the North Sea to the east, the English Channel to the south, the Celtic Sea to the southwest, and the Irish Sea to the west, with continental Europe lying to the southeast and Ireland to the west. English travelers, pilgrims, scholars, photographers, merchants, and tourists have traveled to Palestine for centuries, drawn by religious devotion, scholarly and antiquarian interests, commerce, and the exploration of the region commonly known in Europe as the Holy Land.
