  1. the area of sea between southern England and northern France.
    CultureAlthough it is so narrow at one point (less than 21 miles/33 kilometres) that some people have swum across it and on a clear day it is possible to see Calais from Dover, the English Channel has always formed a physical and cultural barrier between Britain and the rest of Europe. The first person to swim the Channel was Captain Matthew Webb (1848-83) in 1875 and in 1926 an American, Gertrude Ederle, became the first woman to do so.
