The '''English Channel''' is the name of the shallow extension of the [[Atlantic Ocean]] which separates the Island of [[Great Britain]] from [[France]] where it is referred to as 'La Manche' (meaning ''the sleeve''). It is narrowest at the Straits of Dover, at its easternmost end where it joins the [[North sea]]. At this point, the UK and France are just 24 miles apart and the one is visible from the other on clear days.
