My kids were born in the same hospital I was!
I now live in the next town from my parents, but it's in Lonon so isn't far!
1.7 miles according to Here. Maternity hospital, is now a business park.
3 miles now. Lived far and wide during my late teens and early 20's.
2700-ish miles
131 miles
About 4 miles.
About 12 miles from where i was born, back living in the village i grew up in, although i was away for most of my twenties i ended up drifting back. My kids were also born in the same hospital that i was.
Not far.
about 25 miles, the wife is about 10.
I know what the OP is getting at. No Dad marrying my mum was a hugely exotic thing at the time. He grew up in a rural village near Worthing and most people married people from nearby villages. But my dad went to sea in 1955 and met my mum a couple of years later when his ship was on a refit in one of the Tyne shipyards. About 350 miles away. She recalls that she might as well have been from a different planet the first time she made a trip down south to meet family.
4200 miles
difficult.
I was born in a military hospital (dad was RAF) and within months of my birth was posted to Germany, I wouldn't get back to England until I was 11, and we never spent more than a couple of years in any location anyway. I'm not really "from" anywhere.
I live 24,861 miles from where the hospital used to be, it's all housing now.
215 miles. I'm a little surprised - I thought most people would have moved further than they have (notably long distance types apart).
I'm probably one of the closest to home of those I was at school with (that I know about).
31 miles
9 miles. I recall reading a story of a lady who grew pretty old (90 odd IIRC) and never left Borrowdale valley her whole life.
I quite liked that.
About 95 miles. Born in Welwyn, glad I don't live there, looks horrible.
About 3 miles. Moved about 18months ago and it's the closest I've ever been.
Just over 8,450miles.
2.7 miles from the hospital, as the crow flies.
A girl I went to uni with was hugely proud that she shared genes with (was a descendant of) the prehistoric remains found in the cheddar caves. Right up until I pointed out that meant her family had moved a whole half mile in about 5,000 years.
606km
more than many, but a lot less than some
About 3. Or lots more depending on which way round the world I go to get here. 16 years ago moved to the nearest house through the woods to where I lived from birth. 5 mins walk.
About 160 miles, by road. Surprised it's not further, and will soon be closer.
As for the OP's question, interesting - especially in the current political turmoil
10 miles, was there today. I spent most of my life away before returning to spawn. Wife's about 5,500 miles - Jingzhou, China.
According to Google, and by car 828km or 514 miles.
1mile currently.
Over the years this has varied between 1 mile and 404 (according to google)

Do I win? 😀
EDIT: No. I don't. I just looked at the rest of the thread, and I don't even come close. Jeez. All that way, too.
30 miles.
fair observation, to be honest were a small country. around our area most people defiantly stay local and in circles and if anyone strays far your only talking about 100 miles
About 3 miles... lived in nearly ten different properties and this is the furthest away...
8600 odd miles
2000km
As the crow flies, 400.132 miles
145 miles according to the google bike route mapping. My family has pretty much all moved away from there and there's a very small likelihood of me ever visiting the city again.
About 3.5 miles
6.1 miles, but might as well be a different planet 🙂
Currently about 7 miles. Have lived in many places around the UK, and up to 5000 miles away in my youth. Circumstances came together and we're now living close to where I was born.
less than a mile...
20 miles. I'm the only one in this generation to move out of town. (1 out of about 10 cousins + my sister).
In the previous generation.. on my mothers side, all her siblings still live in town, fathers side its more complicated as they were born in various places due to my grandfathers job, moving around doing "something" for GCHQ types.. but they settled here. 2 remain, 3 have left. (2 of the 3 that left are my dads half-brothers)
11604 miles (18675 km) damn beaten by Pomona by 71 miles and vinnyeh by 167 miles! I might have to move!!
Damm lapdog I think that knocks me off the podium....
143 miles, or nearly 4 hours drive including the ferry crossing.
24,900 miles as the crow flies
It's been a long time since i was there and i wish to see it again soon 🙁
Well, taking into account four dimensional space and the fact that the Earth and solar system are in constant motion, it turns out that I have travelled 206,643,882,700 miles from the fixed point in space/time in the forty two years, two months and twenty nine days since I was born.
I'm pretty darn pleased with that.
6392 miles
38 miles by road apparently, didn't think it was that far. Was over 10,000 miles for about eight years
Wife is a slightly more impressive 1800 miles
Still nowhere near as far as some though
24,900 miles as the crow flies
It's behind you.
Max is 20,000km or your going the wrong way
I'm still in the place I was born...Earth.
It's behind you.
Damn!! I thought it all looked familiar!!!
18586km - it's winter there at the moment but warmer than here....
Where did I go wrong??
Max is 20,000km or your going the wrong way
surely it depends on the direction of travel.
No world circumference is just over 40,000km. So. If it's over 20,000km your going the wrong way
25miles. Used to be 200miles a few years ago, but back again now.
About 30 miles Warrington/Stockport
3000+ miles from birthplace but I left when I was 4 months and now live 5 miles from where I was raised
now live 15 miles away from my birthplace
A bit over 100 miles. Would love to live at home (edge of the Lakes), but not really any jobs for me there.
Depending on which route you take on Google maps its either 250, 256 or 281 miles from Dunfermilne to Wakey
203 miles according to Google.
120 miles. Other half is about 6.
(Miles, not age. That would be weird...)
0 miles. Still live in the same place for 27 years. 8)
75 or so.
For a while it was a bit further, then closer, but I have been where I amnow for the last 11 years.
92 miles.
Would be interesting to do an average of stw distances posted.
6777 miles.
5 miles from the hospital. About 600m from the house I grew up in.
Lived away for 9 years and never thought I'd be back, but the OH (who is from about 100 miles away) got offered a job down here.
I was born upstairs and I've been living here for 92 years.
Born in a British Military Hospital at Munster, BAOR, Germany. Now live in Bristol.
500 miles or so.
17,403.35 km or 10,813.94 miles roughly
I'm not reading 5 pages of numbers to find out if any other nerd's pointed this out but you can't be that far from your place of birth unless you were born in or are currently in space.
Nor can I be bothered to figure out how far it is through the earth in a straight line - it's late..
@molgrips I was going around the surface, the sensible way to measure it (unless everyone else is correcting for the curvature of the earth) The earth has a circumfrance of 40,000km (ish)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
Diamter of 12,500km (ish)
So with tunnelling the I guess we could call it about 12,500 but as the crow/plane flies it's about 17,400km

Google maps give you a nice tool to measure the straight line distance between 2 points.
slow day..
discounting those doing extra laps of the planet and counting distance around the outside not through the middle...
