The longest river in England (and indeed, in the entire British Isles) is the River Severn, which actually begins in Wales, rising on the mountain of Plynlimon in Ceredigion before flowing over the Welsh border into Shropshire, down through the Midlands and ultimately ending in the Bristol Channel.

The longest river in Wales is the River Dee, which rises in Snowdonia in North Wales and flows across the North until ending in the Wirral Estuary, on the Wales / England border.

The longest one in Scotland is the River Tay, which rises on the slopes of Ben Lui in Western Scotland and flows East until it empties into the Firth of Tay, South of Dundee.

The longest in Ireland is the River Shannon, which is some 240 miles long- rising in Northern Ireland, it runs South-Westerly down through the country, passing through three large lakes (Lough Allen, Lough Ree and Lough Derg) before emptying into the Shannon Estuary in the South-East of the country.
