It took England the better part of two centuries to gain control of Wales. Part of the reason it took so long was that England did not try to make the take over in a single campaign. It was a stop and go procedure as England was involved in various other wars.

How old is UK?
The United Kingdom came into being in 1707 with the melding of the kingdoms of Scotland and England (Wales was part of the Kingdom of England at this time). Ireland was annexed in 1801, but gained independence and became the Republic of Ireland in the 1920s. Northern Ireland stayed part of the United Kingdom. Thus, the modern United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) has been around for about 90 years. The United Kingdom itself has been around (in some form or another) 304 years. If you mean how long the separate countries like England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland have been around, the answer is a few thousand years. There aren't any definite years of country-hood (unlike the United States) because England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are so old, plus it depends on when you start counting. :)

What river joins England and Wales and how long is it?
The Wye river forms the boundary between England and Wales for part of its length. It is 215 km long. The River Dee forms the boundary between England and Wales for part of its length. It is 110 km long. But forming the boundary is separating England and Wales, not joining them. The Severn river rises in the Cambrian Mountains of Powys, Wales then flows across the border and into England, then flows through Shropshire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire before forming an estuary between England and Wales. Does that count as joining the two countries? Taking the river as ending and the estuary beginning at Severn Beach, South Gloucestershire, the Severn is 354 km long. You have to ask whether any river joins England and Wales. It is the sovereignty of the British Crown that joins them, and the authority of the Westminster Parliament.
