England Geography
England is divided central and north by the Pennines, a low mountain range that stretches for almost 250 miles (400 km), from Birmingham north into the Cheviot Hills on the Scottish border.
In the east-central region of the country, the Fens is a area of flat, low-lying marshland drained for agricultural use. The lowest point in the country is found there, at -4 meters below sea level.
In the southeast, chalk cliffs front the Dover coastline and most of Dorset County. From there, west to Brighton and beyond, sandy beaches line the English Channel.In the far southwest, rugged cliffs and jagged rocks greet Atlantic Ocean waves.
