lecale peninsulaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Lecale peninsula (Irish: Leath Cathail) lies in the east of Ulster, on the southeastern side of County Down, covering an area of some 78 square miles (200 km²) between Downpatrick and Dundrum. It is an area of historical and geographic significance, bounded by the Quoile Marshes (now drained, but formerly extensive), the Blackstaff River, the Irish Sea and Strangford Lough. It has an oddly isolated position, virtually cut off from its hinterland, but open to invasion and influence from the east and south.
