Freshwater | Lough Neagh

Lough Neagh map

大象传媒 Copyright

Lough Neagh is Britain's biggest area of freshwater at 20 miles long and 12 miles wide.

This large expanse of water is ice free during winter making it a number one holiday destination for wintering birds escaping the Arctic wastes of Greenland, Iceland and Norway.
