Cut four lands

Under administrative regard this divides onto four parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Every from them has different tradition, history, scenery, and even language. Regions differ style of life, kitchen and relation to foreigners also. Most approximate mentality to Polish Irishmans have.

England
Land about varied scenery: gentle green hills and extensive heaths, and further sandy beaches and rocky bays. White - black, in half of wooden building The Marches are typical in region. In Yorkshire Dales overweighs stone building. In county Gloucestershire stone houses are honey's colour. Area Lake District is pełen of fully lakes, hills, trees and oneself sheep.
Northern rich England is in old, historical city. Chester ranks to them near Liverpool, put 2000 years ago through Romans. On north-east Durham is from XI - eternal lock and cathedral, raising oneself above bends of river Wear. Ancient city York, full narrow, mediaeval, stony lanes, it has splendid cathedral. In centre Yorvik Viking reproduces itself sounds and reigning scents in city behind times of vikings. In town Stratford - upon - Avon, near Birmingham, William Shakespeare be bore . In Lincoln, one from oldest cities of England, paved lanes lead lock and cathedral are mediaeval onto hill, on which. University city of Cambridge is useful superbly to roaming after backstreets, chapels, gardens. Attraction elegant Bath are mineral sources and original Roman baths. And so it it was been possible to enumerate on and on, because in every English locality something is unusual.

Historical England state of centre of British Empire. London is not only capital of England, but also whole kingdom. Called Babel is present tower. They live all race people and all nations ? in him almost keeping one's dresses, culture and tradition. This city lives. Plenty of in him best's, loud music, reckless motorcyclists and cyclists ? of driving couriers with most important mails, freaks, mimes, street theatres, parades of royal guard, looking of street sweepers as diplomatists... Thousands people, thousands worlds, sharp rock and roll and colonial past. Even Thames, flowing resource of city, she adjusted to this direction of one's current changes oddity and two times onto day.

Palaces, churches, fortresses ? every in different style, from different epoch, and to this characteristic building for culture of given district they create colourful world with tens of splendid collection, huge market and living room of art. Yet this here, in British Museum, Museum of Wiktorii and Albert were in National Gallery valuable works of art accumulated from whole world.

Scotland
Country this associates itself with mountain scenery, with moorland heather, with skirts, bagpipe, that is bagpipes, beret with pompon and perfect whisky. It has unusually rich, full legends history, romantic locks, antique cities.

In spite membership to Great Britain strong distinction kept, among others in possession of substitute of own government with place in Edinburgh as well as own language. Scotland has own bank and own moneys ? Scottish pound about such myself values as English pound. Occupants of that land cultivate division still onto ancestral clans, what it does not disturb to be them exceptionally hospitable and bosoms in the face of strange.

Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, well-known is from mediaeval lock and Holyroodhouse British, monarchów ? of official Scottish dwelling and also; as well as; Kirk of St.Giles, cradles of Scottish prezbiterian, and from university. It is mediaeval parts of city district came into being in XVIII by - XIX be hold age: what of year in August there international Artistic Festivals, enticing crowds of tourists.

Into warehouse of Scotland coastal islands: External Hebrides come in and Internal, Orkneys and Shetland Islands .

Wales
One fifth has status of national park: they are this parks Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire Coast, Brecon Beacons. That parks of nature are paradise for lovers of active rest. It it was been possible to wander dams, to go on horseback , to climb, to fish fish. Mountains occupy larger part of Scotland, among others wild, ornate, covered glacier tops mountain Snowdonii. In Northern part lakes, are and among them lake Bala about surface 10 km as well as huge reservoir water Vyrnwy, from which Liverpool uses. Midnight this calm, country land, almost devoid industry, with beautiful valleys, streams, waterfalls. Completely different noon is with plateau Brecon Beacons and sandy gulfs of coast of Pembrokeshire. Noon this also mining and industry.

Wales is famous from old, massive locks. Just here onto square mile it falls most locks on world. It is them over hundred, (end XIII of age). Architecture of Wales is straight. For main building material he was of service rough, darkgrey stone, broadcasting whole land enough gloomy character. Yet XVIII meets also - eternal colourful birds and gardens.

Wales different oneself from England history and culture. This here last Celtic offspring of ancient Britain live, called formerly Cymram, which are convinced, that it is British land just Wales ? as local occupants did not surrender occupation of Romans truly, Saxons, Danes and Normanish. Celts passed under English rule, but national feeling authenticity never lost. It can therefore as much as 20 % of occupants of Wales uses to original language today, from oneself from group of Celtic languages. And they stayed? They are proud, probably that from them it is terrain connected so many legends and everybody sing people's song, which preferably almost. No wonder , that it be calls Wales "Land of singing?.

Northern Ireland
Mentality of local population is most approximate to Polish, it can therefore, that Irishmans are Catholics. Country, tear onto two states Great ? ranks Britain and Ireland to exceptionally beautiful. It is there rocky coast with huge gulfs, lakes, mountains, forests, rich cities and small hamlets are with stone building, and also ; as well as ; many different relics.

Little from us goes island on this enough distant from Poland. We represent itself , that IRA it puts under bombs, almost in every place so better oneself there onto holidays not to choose. Truth is yet different. Bombs explode more and more seldom, and if already, this in London. Sometimes it reach to incidents in Belfast. Remaining regions are exceptionally calm. Clean air, very hospitable people and beautiful sceneries stay on in memory of newcomer long.

Ulster, so annexed of Ireland part be calls through Great Britain, it folds from six regions: Down, Antrim, Londonderry, Tyrone, Fermanagh and Armagh. Historical Ulster folded still from three different province: Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan, at present finding oneself on territory of Ireland. Every from this lands is completely different.
To largest attraction Antrim numbered stone giants are. It is them of dams about 40 thousands' growing one at second. Further on section 60 mile, road of giants goes on (Gigant's Causeway). About Armagh it speaks itself , that this spiritual capital of Ireland, as in 432 year holy Patric reached to this land.

Exceptionally beautiful region, somewhat reminding, Kaszuby Fermanagh ? real paradise for anglers is. Calm land, rich into history Londonderry is. City Derry, lying after both banks of gulf Foyle, this point of strategic country, where almost in every century heavy fights played themselves .

Capital of Northern Ireland it is Belfast, half a million city and large centre portly - shipbuilding with university, opera XVIII lock, XIX - eternal cathedral Holy Anns and Ulster Museum, in which collection of Irish art was accumulated.

It suffices to leave several kilometres for Belfast, and scenery changes entirely. They appear picturesque, one-storeyed covered little houses tile, and sometimes even thatched roof , stone turrets, temples of musing above rocky bank of sea, and further fields and forests ? Ireland is country beautiful landscapes.
