How many miles does the UK extend from north to south?

Answer 1

The UK extends approximately 1,000 miles from its northernmost point in the Shetland Islands to its southernmost point at the Isle of Portland in England. However, if considering the mainland, the distance is about 600 miles from John o' Groats in Scotland to Land's End in Cornwall. This measurement captures the vastness of the UK's geographic span from north to south.
