There is a difference. FARTHER refers to literal distances or times (London is farther south than Coventry), FURTHER refers to abstract ideas (eg "further from the truth.")

Farther is used for physical distance, further is used for abstract distance or depth.

'Further' away.
And this seems to be the form that's prevailed.
Stricktly speaking, when it's actual distance (rather than time), it should be 'farther' (apparently).
But I wouldn't use it - unless I'm telling my dad to go away....!

They can both mean "more distant" but further can also mean to extend or continue something like your education. I usually say, oh heck, I can't recall what I say!

I always say 'further' but I think it's more to do with my Geordie accent than dictionary definitions.

i'm not sure which one is correct or if it even matters. maybe it's one of those east coast/west coast things.
But for the record I say "further" and I'm from OH.
