The United Kingdom joins England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on islands off north-west Europe. London holds the British Museum, the Tower and West End theatres; Edinburgh has its castle on the rock and the August Fringe festival. Beyond the cities lie the Lake District, the Scottish Highlands and the megaliths of Stonehenge. The climate is mild, but rain is possible in any month.
