The English Channel Its geography and rough seas
The English Channel separates England and France with Dover to the east and Ushant to the west. It runs from Land’s End to Dover on the English side and Ushant to Calais on the French side. The Dover strait is twenty one miles wide and the Atlantic connection lies about one hundred miles from shore at the far end, with a maximum width of about one hundred fifty miles midway.
