Wales is also a mountainous country. Its border to the east with England still roughly runs along
Offa's Dyke, the giant earthwork constructed in the 8 th century. Wales has two major mountain
systems: the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons in the south and the mountains of
Snowdonia in the north-west. The longest river in the UK, the Severn (322 km), rises in central
Wales and flows through England into the Bristol Channel. Wales also has many caves, the
deepest of which is Ogof Flynnon Powys (308 m).

Isles. Ireland is noted for its pastures and the world's best dairy products.
