==Physical geography== The biggest lake in the [[British Isles]], [[Lough Neagh]], lies in eastern Ulster. The province's highest point, [[Slieve Donard]] ({{convert|848|m|ft}}), stands in County Down. The most northerly point in Ireland, [[Malin Head]], is in County Donegal, as are the sixth-highest ({{convert|601|m|ft}}) sea [[cliffs]] in Europe, at [[Slieve League]], and the province's largest island, [[Arranmore]]. The most easterly point in Ireland is also in Ulster, in [[County Down]], and the most westerly point in the UK is in [[County Fermanagh]]. The longest river in the British Isles, the [[River Shannon|Shannon]], rises at the [[Shannon Pot]] in County Cavan with underground tributaries from County Fermanagh. [[Volcano|Volcanic activity]] in eastern Ulster led to the formation of the [[Antrim Plateau]] and the [[Giant's Causeway]], one of Ireland's three [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]]s. Ulster also has a significant [[drumlin]] belt. The geographical centre of Ulster lies between the villages of [[Pomeroy, County Tyrone|Pomeroy]] and [[Carrickmore]] in County Tyrone. In terms of area, County Donegal is the largest county in all of Ulster. <gallery mode="packed"> File:House through the Arch.jpg|At White Park Bay File:Countryside west of Ballynahinch - geograph.org.uk - 466768.jpg|Countryside west of Ballynahinch File:Mourne country cottage. - geograph.org.uk - 495183.jpg|Mourne country cottage File:Fintown Railway on trackbed of CDR County Donegal Railway, Lough Finn (5951398952).jpg|The track of the [[County Donegal Railways Joint Committee|County Donegal Railways Joint Committee (CDRJC)]] restored next to [[Lough Finn]], near [[Fintown railway station|Fintown station]].
