How well do you know the United Kingdom?

"I Love My Country" is a new telly programme soon to hit British screens (on Saturday 3rd August). It was created by John de Mol, the Dutch television entrepreneur behind Big Brother, and has already been a hit in various national versions across Europe. It was first launched in the Netherlands in 2008, and has subsequently been exported to 25 countries.

"I Love My Country" has celebrity guests answer questions about the UK’s history, geography and popular, presented by Gabby Logan, which is designed to celebrate national characteristics. It is great for English language students keen to take in some extra facts during their time in the UK and also everyone who are UK quiz fans!

Do you know the answer to these questions?

What is the name of the Duke of Devonshire’s stately home in Derbyshire?

In which city can you find an extinct volcano called Arthur’s Seat?

Which stretch of water separates the Isle of Wight from the Mainland?

The Telegraph has devised a great quiz in response to this new programme including the above questions and more. Check it out here.
