Regarding which place in the UK is furthest from the sea, here's a quote from the Ordnance Survey's website and they should know, as the official British mapping authority...
"The furthermost point from the sea in the British Isles is at grid reference SK 257144.This lies just east of Church Flatts Farm, approximately 1 mile south-east of Coton in the Elms, Derbyshire." This is 70 miles from the sea at the Wash on England's east coast.
So...Coton in the Elms, I guess.
