600 miles? I had no idea Great Britain was that small. What is the widest distance West to East?

Per Encyclopedia Britannica[0], 300 miles is the widest, and no part is more than 75 miles from the sea.

It's smaller in land mass than 10 US states, coming in just behind Oregon and just ahead of Idaho.
