Limavady town is nestled between the picturesque Roe Valley and Binevenagh Mountain. The town itself is characterised by family owned independent retailers, with a unique choice not found in many of the high streets.

Enjoy the best of national and international theatre and music at the Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre. Or if you love local fresh food, quirky handmade crafts, fine art and speciality products why not visit the monthly Roe Valley Speciality Market.

History and mythical stories make Limavady a charming and intriguing town to visit. The name ‘Limavady’ is of Gaelic origin and means “Leap of the Dog” (Leim an Mhadaidh). This is a reference to a rather charming legend featuring a faithful guard dog of the O’Cahan clan, which is said to have leapt over the gorge of the River Roe to warn its master of approaching enemies.

The Roe Valley Country Park is a must see for any visitor. This scenic and tranquil park offers spectacular riverside views and woodland walks along with opportunities for salmon and trout fishing, canoeing, rock climbing and orienteering.

The river plunges through spectacular gorges and its banks are clothed in mature woodland. This picturesque park is also the main habitat to a number of animals which include foxes, badgers and otters. There is a disabled angler’s jetty by the river and a specially designed trail emphasising the wildlife of the park.
