approximately 21 miles




The shortest distance across the strait, at approximately 21 miles, is from the South Foreland, northeast of Dover in the English county of Kent, to Cap Gris Nez, a cape near to Calais in the French département of Pas-de-Calais. Between these points lies the most popular route for cross-channel swimmers. C/P


I live in Calais, you definitely see English coast from here, but never that big (only in a sunny/cloudless sky). This picture is definitely taken with a zoom lens. But this is a very nice picture though. C/P
