…Oh I do like to be by the sea! 

Ok, the question is how far are you from the nearest beach? 🏖

The closest beach from here is 2.5 hours away 🙁 boo hoo…

I do love a beach walk 😀😆

    Sounds great, especially so close too. I do like a walk along the beach.

    I used to live about 25 minutes from the beach, but now I live 1hr and 25 away.

    I do however live very close to a river and a canal, about 5 minutes walk. I find being close to water and nature to be very soothing, definitely good for reliving any stress I'm feeling :)

    A fun little fact

    I believe it is correct but may be wrong, it was on QI and I know they have got things wrong before...

    I live in the only county in the country that does not border another county with a beach.

    i.e. I am in the only county in the country where you have to drive through 2 other counties before you get to a beach.

    I wonder if anyone can guess which it is? :)

    No not Rutland :)

    I've just had a look and seems there is at least one other county that is 2 counties away from the coast so I think the fact was probably wrong.

    I am Bedfordshire
