Towns & Cities which share/sprawl 2 counties

Omackeral

Also always loved the Four Corners in the USA. The point where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona meet. You can be in all four states at once if you lie across it.

"London" contains two cities and up to 33 boroguhs (depending on your perspective) and parts of 5 counties. However, London does not legally exist and its status as the capital of the UK is not set out in any Act of Parliament., it's simply custom.

Mr_Spaceman

Lisburn is split between (mostly) Antrim and Down.

Is Europe really a continent though?

More of a subcontinent really within Eurasia.

Under what criteria?

It's a large mass of land. Technically Ireland is only politically part of Europe, not geographically. It doesn't really belong to any large mass of land. That's the way I'd see it anyway.

I've heard some mad things about Ferrybank over the years, like your address is Kilkenny but once you step outside the door you're in Waterford, so you have to get your bins collected in Waterford.

Eurasia is a large, distinct, mass of land, Europe isn't really. Culturally yes, but geography doesn't care about that.

The Peanut

Carrick on Suir. Majority of town - Carraig Mór - is in Tipperary. Carrick Beag is in Waterford and 1 mile outside the town is Kilkenny. Schools have kids from 3 counties and 2 provinces.

Mr Rhode Island Red

Cong: Mayo and Galway. Almost everybody I know from there, in a sad kind of way, decides to claim Galwegian status over being a full-blooded bog warrior.

Ireland is part of Europe. It sits on the same Eurasian tectonic plate and shares the same continental shelf. Geographically speaking we're 100% part of Europe.

The eastern bank of the River Moy in Ballina Co Mayo, Ardnaree was officially part of Co Sligo for a long time...

country folk are so funny with stuff like this. You just don't understand, anything outside the M50 is full-blooded bog warrior.

There is no actual difference to non-bog warrior jackeens, a culchie is a culchie is a culchie.

It's especially hilarious when folk from small to middlin' towns like Galway, Cork or Kilkenny pretend to be city slickers and disparage the people who live in fields.

Yiz are all the same to us anyway.

Likewise ye "city slickers" can keep to yourselves.

Carrick on Suir my own town which people have mentioned really is a good example of this. Every time I train the local under 14 team you have kids in head to toe in Tipp/Bla/Cats gear. The rivalry and pride of place is alive and well here

Pettigo, in both Donegal and Fermanagh.

Bundoran and Kinlough?

The Galway/Mayo border is right down the middle of Shrule. Which of course meant the water scheme and sewage upgrade stopped and doesnt serve everyone

Is always thought they were 2 towns, with Ballina being on the Tipp side and Killaloe being on the Clare. Is it messier than that?

Part of Moneygall is in Offaly and part is in Tipperary.
As for Bray.
As for Clonegal.
As for Carlow.

ABajaninCork

Technically they are two different towns although generally people refer to the area as Ballina-Killaloe.

Didn't Tipp and Offaly have a friendly dust-up over who was going to claim Obama?

I was thinking of this, but the northern part of Pettigo is officially called Tullyhoman and is recognized as its own town believe it or not.



Back to the OP....Toomebridge straddles Co. Antrim and Co. Derry on the river Bann.
