For me Yorkshire/Whitby would be the furthest North, although I will be in Newcastle for the first time next month. Never been to Scotland but it’s on my list:

Furthest South would be Lulworth:Dorset, absolutely beautiful.

Is the Isle of Wight or Cornwall further south? (yes, I'm a geography idiot). One of those, anyway.
And Shetland is my furthest north. Beautiful.

North - Perthshire

South - St Ives

Lizard Point is only the most southerly point of mainland UK.

So St Agnes & Gugh on the Isles of Scilly is my most southerly, and Orkney is my most northerly.

North - Kendal
South - Plymouth

North - the North coast of Unst (Shetland), we were aiming for the most northerly point in the UK but my Shetlandic DH drove to the wrong place and didn't realise til we got back to his island 🤦🏻‍♀️

South - probably Plymouth, I've been to Cornwall a couple of times but not the south coast, so I think Plymouth's right

Strictly speaking Channel Islands are not part of the UK
