Although England is the poor relation on the British Mainland in mountain scale there are still over 200 which reach over 2,000 feet (610 metres) in height. Most, including the 10 highest are located in the north western corner of the country within the Lake District National Park. Over 95% of them are in the north with the majority confined to the Lakes, North Pennines and Yorkshire Dales. Six more are on the border with Scotland in the Cheviot Hills and another six within the Howgill Fells. The North Midlands have just three within the Peak District National Park and the South West can claim just two, High Willhays and Yes Tor, both on Dartmoor.

Interactive Map of the UK

Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) is surrounded by seas on all sides and is separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. It is just 1,000 kilometres from the south coast to the far north and just under 500 kilometres in the widest part. No place in Great Britain is more than 120 kilometres from the sea.

Great Britain is one of the most densely populated countries of Europe, with the southern parts of the country reaching the highest density figures of Europe as a whole.

The main mountain regions are the Cornish Heights, the Cambrian in Wales, the Cambrian Mountains (in Lake District) and the Pennies. The highest mountain in Great Britain is Ben Nevis in Scotland.

There are many rivers in Great Britain. Among the most important rivers is the Thames, which flows into the North Sea. Its length is 336 km and it is the deepest rive in Britain. It is navigable as far as the capital of Great Britain – London. The longest river in Britain is the Severn. Its length is 354 km (220 miles). Other important rivers include the Trent, the Tay and the Tweed. ( Political map of Britain showing rivers and main towns and cities)

Yes, the question made you sound like a "plank". But, putting "is there any mountains..." is much worse.
