To aid map navigation, mainland England has been split into the following six regions:
	From the River Humber in the north, to the River Thames in the south, the east of England is extremely flat, with an environment of rich farmland, marshes and fens. Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex are all low-lying coastal counties. Inland lie Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, as well as the cities of Cambridge, Ely, Leicester, Lincoln, Norwich, Nottingham, Peterborough and St Albans.
	North England includes some of the most beautiful, rugged and sparsely populated counties in England, such as Northumberland, Cumbria and North Yorkshire. The Pennine Hills run through this region from Northumberland down to Lancashire and West Yorkshire. Northern cities include Bradford, Carlisle, Durham, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Preston, Sunderland and York.
	Characterised by the North & South Downs (undulating chalk hills that run along the south of the River Thames) Hampshire, East & West Sussex and Kent lie on a formerly densely forested area called The Weald. Cities located in this area include Brighton, Canterbury, Chichester, Guildford, Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester.
	South West England is a land of sandstone and limestone hills, downs and moorland, centred on the granite plateau of Dartmoor. Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset all have extensive coastlines with many sandy beaches and bays. Cities include Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth Salisbury, Truro and Wells.
	Sandwiched between East England and Wales, lying at the foot of the Pennine Hills, is West England. With the highly urbanised West Midlands at its heart, the surrounding area consists of some lush countryside, including the Peak District in Derbyshire to the north, and the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire to the south. Birmingham, Chester, Coventry, Derby, Gloucester, Hereford, Oxford, Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton and Worcester are all cities located in the area.
	London is the capital city of England, the seat of central Government for Great Britain, the home of the British Royal Family, has a population of over 7 million people and is a major shipping port. Situated at the head of the Thames estuary, London is an urban landscape that boasts some magnificent parks, gardens and open spaces, and an extensive history dating back to the beginning of the first century AD. London is an ethnically diverse city with a vast number of theatres, galleries, museums, sporting venues and restaurants.
	In addition to the above, you can also go directly to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight or the Scilly Isles.
