If i'm not mistaken the furthest you can be from the sea in the UK is 72 miles. This question cropped up in a pub quiz I was at.

[blueboar]

Sorry to rub it in, but I'm only 4 1/2 minutes from Orford Lighthouse :nonono::doh:

sorry

[arbocop]

about 56 miles from the south coast here. Oh and 200metres from the River Kennet and 1km from the Thames!

I think Oxford is the furthest equidistant point from the sea.:fishing1:

Small village in Derbyshire is furthest from the sea in England. Most of us are around the 70 mile distance away.

eye but is there anyone here from that small village lol

[sdewis]

Absolute closest bit of sea water to me is 75 miles away according to Google Earth's ruler function.

That's the Wash. The next nearest is the Bristol Channel at 79 miles. Anywhere else is 110 miles plus.

no no - I live in Frankfurt but am from Brum lol

[OH POLLOCKS !!!!!]

i live about 3 minuites from loughor esteury :victory:

[Chrispy]

I live in Oxford. Not ideal for a bass fisherman... and it probably is the furthest point from the sea, but it's easier to get there than from Aylesbury or Thame.
I usually try and fish at dawn in Dorset. This often means getting up at 3 AM and driving 110 miles....:cry:

[sdewis]

Nowhere is easy to get to from Thame.

I work there but live in Coventry. 78 miles each way and a one way journey takes me about 2 hours.

It only takes me 2 and a half hours to do the 127 miles to Skegness (I fish this area) from Coventry!

Luckily I can work from home most of the time :happy:

[sallysludgebucket]

Well Aber is 97 miles from me, so I presume the Severn Estuary is closer, so does anyone know at what point the sea officially starts and the river ends ? Cripes, I only needs a boat then as I lives 3 thirds the way up the Severn, mind you, wouldnt me much head room under some of the bridges tonight ! :headhurt:

I am in Bewdley, Worcestershire, DY121EP fastest to the sea is north wales.

[spireitesam]

:wallbash:
I am from Chesterfield Derbyshire and either east (92m) or west(98m) and it is a long drive but worth the effort:ph34r:

Get yourself to Junction 2 M5 Oldbury....We'll do the rest, bring your kit and fish for England (might catch a decent cod)

No farting in the car though.

How many miles is that? It is not possible to live 400 kilometres from the sea if you live in Britain

I'm from just down the road in Towcester.

i lived in towcester, briefly. was a photographer on the advertiser, a lifetime ago.

[MikeR]

As the crow flies about 60 miles, but driving nearly 90 miles.

[HaroldPWH]

Live in Coventry and work in daventry - seems sooo far from the sea - especially being a Cornish exile.

The fishing rod is coing back out very soon after a 18 year hibernation......

[ade]

i live 11.5 miles from sea
but when i lived down england it was 98.5 each way

[penn2]

On the programme coast it says nobody is more than 72 ish miles from the sea .i'd assume this is as the crow flies. for me its 74 to east and about 90 to the west,makes it expensive now days to go every week.

[midnight angler]

i live 70 miles from the closest bit of sea but i wouldnt fish there so its 140 miles to holyhead from stoke on trent, which is a bit out of casting range

[bellboy1982]

[j_o_s]

Yep your right, i live between bedford and northampton and its a long haul whatever way i go, the 72 mile it is a joke, yes it probably is that far to the nearest sea, but its poo, for decent fishing its more like 95/100 miles :sneaky2::wallbash:

I live in North Warwickshire - which is about ________________________ from the sea, I think.

Which is 3.5 hrs to Aberystwyth, 3.5 hrs to Southwold, 4.00 hrs to Dover and 2.5 hours to the top of the M56 - Welsh End - spoilt for choice me :)

I live 90 miles from the east coast and 60 from the west..... On the top of the Pennines...Bring on global warming ha ha.
Seriously though,I spend a fair bit of time in Cornwall,house sitting a friends place,and there I can catch bass,flatties,codling,turbot and assorted other species from his patio without actually leaving the perimiter of the garden,mind you,to buy the place would cost you a good lottery win.

Howzat.
