Talk:South West Peninsula

Does the term really exclude Dorset?
Is the term "South West peninsula" applied to Great Britain really meant to exclude Dorset? I thought Dorset was more or less south of Somerset. Vorbee (talk) 15:14, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It is indeed and I'm tempted to put a tiny map on this talk page from the commons (won't take long) to point out WHERE THE NARROWING is, so people can see for themselves what any geographer or weather forecaster sees. We all need to put aside political geography but rather able to see physical geography. It's like saying East Anglican peninsula.  It's not hard to define.  It's not opinion.  It's not original research.  It's a distinct narrowing in just the same way.- Adam37  Talk  19:48, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Broadly speaking I agree, but there is no single definition of the peninsula. A schematic map with a fuzzy rather than firm eastern edge would be fine.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Quite - stop asking for a firm definition of rivers as the southern one is a quagmire. Or quandary. The Axe clearly stands out on the map as a natural wind-gap and scouring through the hills into the Parrett basin. The Char however is tiny and really a piddle that is a closer to north-south line AND happens to be the narrower gap in miles (isthmus) but bounded by more notable small hills that crop up around its headwaters. And so we have a dichotomy, a debate even around the most logical isthmus.  Let alone what some of the locals down there may or may not consider themselves AND political such as county/i.e. old landowners/main market town considerations which have never been part of a physical geography article except very brief mention - thank you for cutting them right down. I agree.- Adam37  Talk  23:02, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It wasn't me seeking a definition in terms of rivers - that was down to you. We cannot be specific, so I've now removed a mention of the Char.  I've also rechecked the width of the isthmus, which is close to 60 km, not 40 km.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:54, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
