I vividly remember as a child standing on the White Cliffs of Dover (St Margarets Bay/ Kingsdown) and looking across the English Channel and seeing France. The cliffs are around 300 feet and France is approx 20 miles away- so your graph is spot on!

Remember thinking that those 20 miles seemed so little yet they kept us British safe from invasion on more than one occasion!
