Derry

County Londonderry or County Derry is located within the province of Ulster and is part of Northern Ireland. It was named after its main town – and later city and administrative centre – Derry, which lies in the north-western corner of the county. It is one of four counties in Northern Ireland.

The highest point in the county is the summit of Sawel Mountain (678m) on the border with County Tyrone. Sawel is part of the Sperrin Mountains, which dominate the southern part of the county. To the east and west, the land falls into the valleys of the Bann and Foyle rivers respectively; in the south-east, the county touches the shore of Lough Neagh, which is the largest lake in Ireland; the north of the county is distinguished by the steep cliffs, dune systems and remarkable beaches of the Atlantic coast.
