Information About

Lough Foyle







Lough Foyle (''Loch Feabhail'' in Irish ) is the name given to the Estuary of the River Foyle . It starts where the Foyle leaves Derry . It separates the Inishowen Peninsula from Northern Ireland .

In the summer time, a ferry service operates between County Donegal and County Derry over Lough Foyle.

There is a saying, that when one is on a boat on Lough Foyle, one is at the only place in the world where north is south, and south is north. (The Republic Of Ireland , even Donegal, is referred to as "The South" in Northern Ireland, while "The North" is a common term for Northern Ireland).
