United Kingdom Fashion Schools
Britain is made up of three countries: England, Scotland, and Wales. These together with Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or the U.K. Each country has its own distinctive landscapes, traditions, history, architecture and people.
England has long been known for its beautiful countryside - majestic moorland and craggy peaks, lush green fields and fens, wide sandy beaches and quaint fishing villages. But England is not just countryside–there are elegant, refined and historic cities with Roman, Georgian, Tudor and Victorian influences; architectural splendors; university cities; cathedral cities and other vibrant, exciting cities with museums, art galleries, modern trendy restaurants, nightlife and some amazing theater. In fact, Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford-Upon-Avon, is just 2 1/2 hours from London, and is where The Royal Shakespeare Company performs the Bard's works, amongst other classics, year round.
Scotland is a land steeped in history, whose folklore, legend and romance blend together to provide a spectacular and exciting destination. Unspoiled, wild and dramatic scenery with castles, battlefields and ancient settlements combine with modern, cultured, vibrant cities. For the naturalist, the angler, the hiker or the golfer, the countryside is a delight. Looking for museums, art and culture? Head for the cities: Glasgow or the capital city, Edinburgh, famous for its castle and international festivals.
Wales is the land of legend, song, fire-breathing dragons, powerful wizards, sheep, more sheep, and undisputed natural beauty. You'll find standing stones, Celtic crosses, castles, dramatic cliffs and mountains, wide sandy bays and lush green valleys in the Welsh countryside. The heritage and culture of Wales reach back over thousands of years-when poetry and music, art and craft, dance and story-telling all played an essential role.
While Northern Ireland is a country just 85 miles long and 70 miles wide, you'll find a surprisingly wide variety of scenery-majestic mountains, orchards and farmland, lakeland, forests, ancient walled cities and spectacular coastline, including the legendary Giant's Causeway. Belfast, the capital city, offers museums and history, grand Victorian and Edwardian buildings, gardens, shopping and, of course, great nightlife. Added to the rich cultural inheritance, you'll find castles and cathedrals, linen and lace, crystal and china, and some of the best golf courses in the world.
