Ireland is located in the south-central part of the island of Ireland in western Europe, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Northern Ireland to the northeast, and facing the United Kingdom across the Irish Sea to the east. The coastline is 3,169 kilometers long, with hills and plains in the center and coastal areas. Most of them are highlands; the longest river, the Shannon, is about 370 kilometers long, and the largest lake is Lake Corrib. The island of Ireland is one of the largest islands in the British Isles. It is 475 kilometers long from north to south and 275 kilometers wide from east to west. The island covers an area of ??84,000 square kilometers, 5/6 of which belongs to the Republic of Ireland. Ireland consists of the central plain and the surrounding coastal mountains. It is shaped like a basin with steep edges, high in the north and south and low in the middle. The central plain accounts for more than half of the country's total area, with an altitude of 30 to 120 meters, and some with an altitude of 200 to 300 meters. Low hills, this area is covered with lush forests and green fields, making it an ideal grassland pasture. The eastern and northern mountain ranges are between 700 and 900 meters above sea level, and the southern mountains are between 700 and 1,000 meters above sea level. The southwest coast has steep cliffs and rugged rocks. There are many caves and undercurrents in the mountains; the coastal mountains have been eroded for a long time, and the mountains are divided by wide valleys, which is conducive to transportation between the inland and the coast. Ireland's coastline is more than 3,000 kilometers long. Its eastern coast is relatively straight and lacks natural harbors; its western and southern coastlines are intertwined, undulating, and highly varied.
