There are many towns and villages who lay claim to this 'honour'.

Some examples are the Clock Tower in Leicester, the Town Hall in Burton upon Trent, MacDonalds in Ashby de la Zouche, and many others around this general central area.

There is no 'official' rule for calculating distances from the sea so many villages 'bend' the non-existent rules to suit their claims.

Measuring from how far salt water travels into and out of river estuaries makes a huge difference to inland distances and therefore claims from towns and villages.

After all if you decided to stop off for a snack in a cafe of a pie and a pint in a pub, wouldn't you prefer to do it in a pub that claims to be as far from the sea as you can be or would you just stop at the place down the road.
