The Big Dipper, also known as the Plough, is a constellation of stars that resolve around the Pole Star. The Pole Star appears to be stationary in the northern sky, while the constallations rotate around it. Two stars of the Plough points directly towards the Pole Star and is used in navigation. Though, nowadays, modern GPS and satelite navigation is used instead. So, from the UK, the Pole Star does point towards the north!
