- Ireland
- Spain / Gibraltar
- Cyprus de jure / Sovereign Bases, and Northern Cyprus de facto
- France (multiple locations, and France has two land borders in the UK)
- Brussels
- Amsterdam
- Norway
- Chile.
And while the Spanish fronter in well guarded on one level, it's possible to swim / sail across.
