Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland combines a rugged Atlantic shoreline with fertile inland lowlands in a way that reflects its position within the northeastern part of the island of Ireland. Lough Neagh, the largest lake by area in the British Isles, lies near its centre, while the Mourne Mountains rise in the southeast and the Antrim Coast leads to the basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Belfast, its largest city, is closely associated with the shipbuilding industry that built RMS Titanic. Irish and Ulster-Scots traditions remain important parts of local culture and place names.
