Cardiff is really hard to identify. I tried every city on the eastern coast of England and Scotland.

Consulting a map won’t help. The U.K. is a political term, not a geographical one. The Isle of Man is not politically part of the U.K., it is a Crown Dependency, on the same legal basis as Jersey and Guernsey.

Being a Diffian I recognised Cardiff. Struggled with Belfast. Enjoyed that.

'Na h-Eileanan Siar', 'Na h-Eileanan an Iar', 'Eilean Siar' and 'Western Isles' should probably be accepted for 'Outer Hebrides'. The first three are three variants of the Gaelic name and the later is a common English alternative.

Almost didn't guess Anglesey as it asked for an island chain.

exactly it is an island connected to the mainland by a bridge..... by no stretch of the imagination can it be described as a chain

Yeah, I looked at it and was pretty sure it was Anglesey but the bit about being an island chain threw me off for a second; I'm guessing it's a mistake. Quizmaster?

Why is Wales a "country", not a country? I mean, it IS a country, so why the inverted commas? Or is the setter in the (strange) habit of conferring inappropriate punctuation on all the countries of the UK?

The Humber is technically an estuary, not a river.

Yes that confused me somewhat. The question asks for a river, I entered "Trent", because that's the major river that comes out at the estuary, and that wasn't accepted. When I arbitrarily entered "Hull" because that is the city we are looking at, that was accepted. I think I would just change the clue to ask for 'estuary'.

Yes, the rivers Trent and Ouse join to form the Humber estuary - Humber isn't a river.

Managed to get them all, which shows that it is much easier when it is your own country as I haven't done particularly well on some of the other satellite image quizzes. Cardiff and Belfast took a bit of working out though

The quiz was very easy regardless. I'm not from the UK and only missed 2.

Fun to do though.

Can you look at removing the term ‘islands’ from Orkney and Shetland. Both Orkney and Shetland refer to the groups of islands and does not require islands to be included in the title

I’m so successfully indoctrinated by Jetpunk on what constitutes the UK and what isn’t that my mind didn’t accept the Isle of Man as an answer.

Nice quiz, easy enough for non UK-ers. Only missed Anglessey and Cardiff (was looking for something on the east coast of the UK)
