England occupies all of the island east of Wales and south of Scotland, another country and division of the United Kingdom.
England is very roughly triangular in shape, with its apex at the mouth of the River Tweed on the north-eastern border with Scotland.
The soils of England vary from the thin, often acidic, soils of the highlands, such as in the uplands of the Pennines and the moors of the south-west peninsula, to the rich loams of East Anglia.
