Have you ever tried to research the geography of the UK and never quite managed to get your head around the seemingly endless number of disparate subdivisions? Well it's not just you, it's actually
just quite complicated which we owe to the lack of a British constitution, variation between constituent countries, and the convoluted history of the UK.
This may mean that UK geography is not as structured as the US, for example. Despite this, Brits communicate location effectively using terms such as "The South West", "Gloucestershire", and "Gloucester". This deck aims to provide a formal and comprehensive set of cards that align with these intuitive terms that you may already have and which are likely to be understood intuitively by others. This allows existing knowledge to be leveraged and contextualised, allowing memory links to be created both bottom-up, top-down, and based on geographical proximity.
The deck will help you to learn:
