The British Isles is a geographical location, an archipelago off the northwest coast of continental Europe. It is located on the European continental shelf so therefore still part of Europe. I believe it is the third largest after Indonesia and the Philippines. The United Kingdom is one of two countries within the British Isles. The other being the Republic of Ireland.
