Explore Live Cams in the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom (Y Deyrnas Unedig in Welsh) covers about 93,630 square miles (242,500 km²) on the islands of Great Britain and the northeast of Ireland. Rolling green farmland and hedgerows fill much of England, rugged mountains and lochs rise across Scotland and Wales, and a long, varied coastline of cliffs, sandy bays and estuaries wraps around it all.

Its most famous natural landmark is the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, where around 40,000 six-sided basalt columns step down into the sea. The highest peak is Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands at 4,413 feet (1,345 m). The robin was voted the national bird, and lions, a unicorn and a red dragon appear in the national symbols.

Puffins and Manx shearwaters nest on Skomer, ospreys have returned to Scotland and England, and red deer roam the Highlands. The Giant's Causeway, the fossil-rich Jurassic Coast, the Lake District and the remote islands of St Kilda are among its UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Did You Know? Bass Rock, an island off the Scottish coast, is home to the largest colony of northern gannets on Earth, with around 150,000 birds turning its cliffs white each summer.
