Geography
In the south of Northern Ireland, with Lough Neagh on its northern border, County Armagh is a mainly rural county. The M1 motorway links the towns of Lurgan, Portadown and Craigavon to Belfast. The reeds and wet meadows around the south shores of the Lough provide a habitat for many wildfowl including red-crested pochard, smew and great-crested grebes and you can watch them from the bird hides at the Oxford Island Nature Reserve. The Lough also provides facilities for watersports and fishing. Slieve Gullion in the southwest is the county's highest point.
