In 1884 zero degrees longitude was established as the Greenwich Meridian and the world's prime meridian for measuring longitude.
The Greenwich Meridian line runs through Cleethorpes as it travels round the globe from north to south, and a metal plate has been set into the coastal path to mark the exact location.
Usefully it also marks the distance between the Meridian and various places around the world. Keep going directly North from here, you only have 2,517 miles to get to the North Pole.
