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.

I've been to the northern most point of mainland Uk - Dunnet Point in the highlands, Scotland. I've been to John O'Groats too.

I've also been to the most southern point of mainland UK too - Lizard Point, in Cornwall, England. I've also been to Lands End.

On different trips though.

Most northerly: footpath looking over to muckle flugga on Unst in Shetland

Most southerly: not sure. I went to the Scilly isles as a child but don't know whether we made it anywhere south of the Lizard.

Most easterly: Lowestoft

Most westerly: South Uist.

Aberdeen furthest north, Plymouth furthest south

Giggorata · 14/04/2023 23:23

South - the Lizard and North - somewhere on Unst, Shetland, but I forget where, it was so long ago.

I was at lizard point last week, and I’ve been as far north as Ullapool though that was 35 years ago.

Leeds furthest North

Isle of Wight furthest South though I've been to Lands End which I think is a bit more south

I've been to the Giants Causeway and thats definitely more north than Leeds lol

Eastbourne and Edinburgh

Dundee

Lands End, googling the Lizard now!

Furthest North - Isle of Lewis. My then-boyfriend and I stayed in Gearrannan Blackhouse Village, which is well worth seeing if you’re up that way.

Furthest South - The Lizard in Cornwall.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 14/04/2023 23:57

North - I’ve sailed between the Shetlands and the Faroes.

South - Lands End

Furthest North - Either Inverness or Isle of Skye, not sure which is further north looking at a map?
