Strangford Lough

Strangford Lough or Strangford Loch ((アイルランド語:Loch Cuan)) is a large sea loch or inlet in County Down, in the east of Northern Ireland. It is the largest inlet in the British Isles, covering 150 km2. The loch is almost totally enclosed by the Ards Peninsula and is linked to the Irish Sea by a long narrow channel or strait. The main body of the loch has at least seventy islands along with many islets (pladdies), bays, coves, headlands and mudflats. It is a conservation area and its abundant wildlife is recognised internationally for its importance. Strangford Lough was designated as Northern Ireland's first Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) under the introduction of the Marine Act (Northern Ireland) 2013.
Strangford Lough is a popular tourist destination noted for its fishing and scenery. Towns and villages around the loch include Killyleagh, Comber, Newtownards, Portaferry and Strangford. The latter two are connected by a car ferry.
==Name==
The name ''Strangford'' comes .〔(PlaceNames NI: Strangford Lough )〕 The Vikings were active in the area during the Middle Ages. Originally, this name referred only to the narrow channel linking the loch to the sea (between the villages of Strangford and Portaferry).〔 Up until about the 18th century, the main body of the loch was better known by the (older) Irish name ''Loch Cuan'', meaning "loch of the bays/havens".〔 This name was anglicized as ''Lough Coan'', ''Lough Cone'', ''Lough Coyn'', ''Lough Coin'', or similar.〔
The narrow channel may have been known in Latin as the ''fretum Brene''.〔II-Landing Places of St. Patrick, "Saint Patrick: his life and mission", Mrs. THOMAS qONCANNON, The Talbot Press Ltd., Dublin & Cork, From The James D. Phelan Celtic Collection〕 In Ulster-Scots the loch's name is spelt ''Strangfurd'' or ''Strangfirt Loch''.〔(Jordan's Castle (Ulster-Scots translation) ) Department of the Environment.〕〔(Nendrum (Ulster-Scots translation) ) Department of the Environment.〕
