Londonderry is a maritime county on Ulster's north coast, stretching from the River Bann westward to the border with the Irish Republic. Inland, County Londonderry reaches to Lough Neagh. The River Foyle runs through the western edges of the county, down to Londonderry itself and then into Lough Foyle. Londonderry is a historic walled city, known as "the Maiden City" as its walls have never been breached by an enemy. The Bann leaves Lough Neagh and runs due north to Coleraine and then into the Atlantic. Both Coleraine and Londonderry spread onto both banks of their respective rivers. The south of the county is in the Sperrin Mountains.
