Countries that border United Kingdom
One land neighbour: Ireland. It has a page of its own.
One way in
One land border, and it is Ireland.
Its 1 land border is joint 10th-most in Europe — level with Denmark, Ireland, Monaco, Portugal, San Marino and Vatican City. Ireland is the most connected of them, with 1 land border of its own. Everything else about United Kingdom is coast, which makes it one of the easier shapes on the Europe board and one of the harder capitals to place — London has no second neighbour to triangulate from.
