County Tyrone

With an area of 3,266 square kilometres (1,261 sq mi), Tyrone is the largest county in Northern Ireland. 

The flat peatlands of East Tyrone border the shoreline of the largest lake in the British Isles, Lough Neagh, rising gradually across to the more mountainous terrain in the west of the county, the area surrounding the Sperrin Mountains, the highest point being Sawel Mountain at a height of 678 m (2,224 ft). 

The length of the county, from the mouth of the River Blackwater at Lough Neagh to the western point near Carrickaduff hill is 55 miles (89 km). The breadth, from the southern corner, southeast of Fivemiletown, to the northeastern corner near Meenard Mountain is 37.5 miles (60.4 km); giving an area of 1,261 square miles. 

Situated at the heart of the province, it has land boundaries with Counties Armagh, Derry, Monaghan, Fermanagh and Donegal, and marches Antrim to the east along Lough Neagh.

The 2021 census indicates that the County has a population of 188,383.
