British islands

The British Isles are in the north-west of Europe. They are the following states: Ireland, Great Britain and the Virgin Islands, which are subject to the British crown and are not part of the state.

The largest of the above is the island of Great Britain. It is England, Wales and Scotland. The population here is very polite, but prudish. All the year round there are many holidays in England.

The British Isles (Virgin Islands) is a group of islands, different in area. There are 36 in all. The largest of them are: Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost van Dyke, Anegada.

These lands are located near the Caribbean in the Atlantic Ocean and belong to the overseas territory of Great Britain. The population of the islands barely reaches 25 thousand people. Most of them live on Tortola. The British Isles also have their own capital, the Road Town.

Throughout its existence, the islands were captured by the Spaniards, the Dutch, the French and even pirates. However, the greatest success in this was achieved by the British. In 1072 they captured this territory. Since 1680, the British began to develop here plantations of sugar cane.

The islands are mostly flat and hilly. There are no lakes and rivers. There are some problems with drinking water. They are solved with the help of desalination plants. The animal and plant world does not differ in variety. Over the centuries, it was gradually destroyed by people, and today the islanders can not boast of a rich flora and fauna.

The British islands attract them with a hot, tropical climate. It's warm all year round. From July to October, there are often hurricanes that can spoil the rest a little. It is worth remembering that it takes 5-7 days a month to rain. The most favorable time for rest is from December to April. At this time, there is the largest influx of tourists. Accordingly, prices will be relatively higher than, for example, in the summer.

For couples with children, calm, even beaches with white sand are perfect. And lovers of surfing is better to go to where the endless waves are raging.
