Where’s the furtherest North & South you’ve been in the UK

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.

The northernmost Shetland Isle (Unst?) where my DM and I posted postcards from the most northerly post office in the U.K.

Not sure about the most southerly, but Land’s End, if that’s it - I really ought to know.

North - Shetland. Went when I was 22 to Posers, what I believe was the UKs most northerly nightclub.

South - Lands End

Kind of surprised so many people have given a trip to Land's End as their most southerly destination but not then ventured to Lizard Point (the actual most southern point).

Anyway, Lizard Point is the most southerly I've been, Inverness is the most northerly.

Lizard Point is lovely too and very picturesque. Furthest north is Fort William.
