"यह जगह दूर है ।"

Translation: This place is far.

[Balthy74]

This sounds strange in English. Would be better with "This place is far away."

[whimslcott]

If it was far wouldn't it be वह?

[RedHindi]

Absolutely correct, unless you just arrived there from a distant location.

I dont know if this is right, but I thought of it in context of looking at a map or list of places. Maybe, for example, if I were trying to choose a place to eat with a friend and one of them is 20 miles away, I might use this.
