I appreciate that for a military reason photographing a border could be illegal, but I never though finding pictures of borders were so hard. I have been to Cyprus and seen the Green Line that borders Greek Cyprus to Turkish Cyprus in the city of Nicosia. Nicosia is quite modern and at the end of a posh pedestrian shopping street an ugly wall suddenly block the fun. Tourists are allowed to look beyond the wall. And what do you see? Well between this wall and another wall some meters down being the Turkish wall is a piece of untamed wild bush, where probably no man has put his foot for the last 25 years.
 
Coming home I was eager to find out more only to be disappointed.
 
Last year I was watching Tour De France, and on one particular day the bikers would enter Andorra. I recorded the programme and surfed on the official site and on mapquest, but at no stage I figured out where the border was.
 
Does anyone know if there are border markers do Andorra or Monaco?

Jesper, I found the lack of available internet information about the IE/GB border itself to be a surprise.  It's hard to believe that a boundary this contentious would not be demarcated.  Perhaps this is because of the Irish Republic's refusal (philosophically if not in fact) to recognize the partition, and thus a resulting lack of cooperation in the demarcation?  (Pure speculation on my part.)
