A Geograph, Question.

I realize that I could look this up, but this is ChatterBank. Obviously there is no red line painted on the water; however, what is the general consensus of where the English Channel becomes the North Sea. Let's put it this way: what is the northern most English county that abuts the Channel, and what is the southern most English county that abuts the Sea?

Anyway, me old salts, it's been an interesting and informative chat. Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye...Cheers.

Interesting article, Hopkirk. I'm sure that I read at one time that the Lusitania was sunk in St. George's Channel near the Head of Kinsale. This location now, according to some people anyway, would be called the Celtic Sea. I, for one, much prefer the previous designation.

If you go on Google maps, St George's Channel is marked as the narrowest bit between Fishguard and Rosslare.

The words Celtic Sea appear off the coast at Milford Haven.
