what area is UK mainland (Scotland/England/Wales), in acres?

Answer 1

Creambun's done the hard work.........but bear in mind that the Islands around the UK are classed as mainland UK..........I live on the isle of Wight and although I have to get a ferry to the mainland the Island is still classed as mainland (how bizzare). The Isle of Man is different!

Answer 2

United Kingdom Area
- Total 244,820 km²
(94,526 sq mi)

Northern Ireland Area
- Total 13,843 km²
(5,345 sq mi)

- you need to take one away from the other for the area of the mainland (you can do that yourself as I cannot be bothered at this precise moment to get out my calculator, sorry!)

It will be slightly over because I have not taken off all the islands around the UK. If you want it more accurately, look up England, Scotland and Wales on Wiki (but it will also include all the islands around Scotland, for example)

Answer 3

Scotland comprises the northern third of the island of Great Britain, off the coast of north west Europe. The total land mass is around 78,772 square kilometres (30,414 mi²). Scotland's only land border is with England, and runs for 96 kilometres (60 miles) between the River Tweed on the east coast and the Solway Firth in the west. The island of Ireland lies around 30 kilometres (20 mi) off the south west tip of Scotland, Norway is around 400 kilometres (250 mi) to the north east, and the Faroes and Iceland lie to the north. Scotland lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea.

England comprises the central and southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain, plus offshore islands of which the largest is the Isle of Wight. It is bordered to the north by Scotland and to the west by Wales. It is closer to continental Europe than any other part of Britain, divided from France only by a 38 km (24 statute mile or 21 nautical mile) sea gap.

Wales is located on a peninsula in central-west Britain. The entire area of Wales is about 20,779 km² (8,023 square miles). It is about 274 km (170 miles) north-south and 97 km (60 miles) east-west. Wales borders by England to the east and by sea in the other three directions: the Welsh Channel to the south, St George's Channel to the west, and the Irish Sea to the north. Together, Wales has over 1,200km (750 miles) of coastline. There are several islands off the Welsh mainland, the largest being Ynys Môn (Anglesey) in the northwest.
