That you can see France from Lowestoft

Really? From how high? I thought at ground level the horizon was only a couple of miles away. eg you can see Calais from the cliffs at Dover, but not from the beach.

Lowestoft to Dunkirk is around 100 miles away, You'd have to be around 2,000 metres up to see that distance, and as far as I remember, Lowestoft is fairly flat with no git big massive observation towers.

Or is it a trick question and there's a place called France nearby?
