∙ 14y agoThe UK is a big place.
Thurso, Scotland is 550.5 miles (886 km) due south of the Arctic Circle.
From Plymouth, England, it's 1,117.3 miles (1,798 km).
Looking at it another way ... on your trip from Plymouth to the Arctic Circle, you're past the
halfway point before you're even out of the UK.
