Great Britain, which is comprised of the autonomous countries of Scotland, England, and Wales, is the largest island and the most populous region in Europe. The island is surrounded by around 1,000 of its own islands and islets. Unlike most islands, you won’t find dramatic geographical features like active volcanoes, arctic mountain ranges, or exotic jungles -- but you can find plenty of craggy coastlines, ancient castles, charming villages, double-decker buses, and roundabouts.
