I'm interested the relations of the boundaries for counties.  I notice 
that some counties (and recently English Regions) include the way for 
the coastline (natural=coastline), and some coastal counties do not. 

I think that coastal counties would benefit from a way to close the 
boundary, but does it make sense to use the coastline?  The coastline 
way probably indicates cliffs or a sea wall, yet there is often some 
beach or tidal flats beyond this on the seaward side.  I understand that 
councils are responsible for the beach so the county could be said to 
extend beyond what we currently mark as the coastline.  Does anyone know 
where council boundaries actually end with respect to the sea and 
coastline? 

Cheers, Chris
