A new hiking trail will soon allow travellers to walk around England's entire coast – but a strange paradox means no one knows exactly how long it is.

    Yes, yes, the coastline paradox. But did you read the context? They’re getting close to completion on a hiking trail that follows the entire English Coast and connects up with another trail that follows the Welsh Coast! That means they’re just a Scotland away from having a ring route around the entire island! (Granted that would likely be the most difficult part, but if the English portion takes off in popularity, maybe they’ll do it.) I’d never heard of this project before and live nowhere near the UK, but I’m totally stoked for this project.
