Home > List of the British Isles


 Contents
The British Isles consist of two major islands, many other inhabited islands, and countless uninhabited islands and rocks. They are administered by the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom (which is divided into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), and the Isle of Man. Sometimes the Channel Islands are also included. Although the Faroe Islands might appear to be part of the island group, they are seldom included and are administered by Denmark.
