The Meridian Line
Although the Meridian line crosses the Arctic and Antarctic, the only countries it encounters are shown on this map. From Tunstall on the North Sea coast, through England by way of Greenwich in Greater London, The Line heads from the English coast to France.
Through France The Line manages to miss major cities but meets the border with Spain at the breathtaking mountain watershed called the Cirque de Gavarnie. In Spain, as for France, no major cities are traversed and The Line crosses the coast near Benidorm, heading for North Africa. After missing Oran in Algeria, then slicing right through Gao in Mali, The Line meets the sea near Accra in Ghana.
There are many other Meridian lines such as the one at KEW
