As its an island, it can't be 'in' England, it has to be offshore. You may be thinking about the Isle of Wight.

What is the climate in snowdon?
Like most of Wales, Snowdonia has a mild wet climate. If you are visiting on holiday, bring lots of light jumpers, and an inexhaustible supply of waterproofs. If you are climbing, you are unlikely to face severe cold - but mists are dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
Where does North Wales and Mid Wales join?
It depends on what criteria you apply.
Geographically, Most probably where the mountains suddenly drop, say Machynlleth, Powys, or somewhere just south of Cader Idris
Socio-economically, most probably a little further south of Machynlleth, say, Derwenlas.
Socio-culturally, I would draw a line distinctly between Bow Street and Taly-Y-Bont, Ceredigion.
Another definition of "North Wales" is the old Kingdom of Gwynedd that is traditionally said to be found between the River Dyfi and the River Dee. The modern counties of Gwynedd, Anglesey, Conwy, Flint and Denbighshire are mostly within the bounds of the old Kingdom of Gwynedd.
What counties border Derbyshire?
Derbyshire borders Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.
Is there a mountain in Wales called Cader Idris?
Yes it's in Gwynedd in Wales at the southern end of Snowdonia National Park.
Why do so many welsh people have big noses?
Because the modern Welsh population is descended from Roman royals!!!
What is Wales called in welsh?
The Welsh name for Wales is Cymru. The first part of the word is pronounced as you would say 'come' (and rhymes with 'hum') and the second part is pronounced 'ree'.
Please see related links for a sound file of the pronunciation.
"Wales" comes from the Anglo-Saxon "waelisc" meaning "foreign", so presumably it got this name around the 5th or 6th century AD.
The Welsh name for the country is Cymru.
The Romans called it Cambria.
