What? England was once connected by a land bridge to the rest of Europe. It was never discovered. Cro-Magon man was there. The English channel is not that wide. Every movement in Europe eventually reached it. If you mean what England means, simple, Angle land. The Anglo-Saxon tribes. Angles, Saxons, and in a minority role the Jutes. But that is the 5th century AD. Basically no one ever discovered England. Humans were already there when the land bridge sank and that took several centuries.

If you're refering to the first people to discover the land of England then it was the no madic tribe (a name has not been given yet) that lived in caves there. The men and women lived there for about 1,000 years until a famin hit and the people killed themselves and ate humans. They soon all died when they were invaded and killed by the Saxons.

England has been occupied by various peoples since before recorded history, including the Picts, Celts, Danes, Vikings, Romans, etc., and every new group that laid eyes on England claimed to be its 'discoverer'. The modern Britains are a mix of various European bloodlines.

Who discovered England? Maybe the cavemen.

This is a perfectly good question and deserves better than the flippant answers it has got. I assume your question is short for "Which person from a literate society added knowledge of Britain to that society's resources?" People long thought that the Phoenicians traded for tin in Britain, but as nothing Phoenician has been found there, the claim has to be suspect. The first visitor we can be sure of was Pytheas of Marseilles in the 4th Century BC.

England was already inhabited around 5000 BC (or for you: 7000 years ago). At that time it was still part of the European continent (not an island). Hardly a case of "discovery"....

No one ever really discovers a country.
