Location: Limavady

The Roe Valley Country Park, on the outskirts of Limavady, contains three miles of beautiful and tranquil scenery and offers the visitor a variety of riverside and woodland walks and scenery.  The River Roe flows throughout the park and fishing for salmon and trout proves popular for angling enthusiasts visiting the region.  Canoeing, rock climbing and orienteering are also common activities within the park.  Picturesque Largy Bridge is the very location where the legendary 'leap of the dog' took place, giving Limavady its name.

Worth a visit regardless of the season, the park acts as a living history of Limavady. Take a step into the past, and imagine local genius J.E. Ritter supplying the first direct current of electricity in Ulster to Limavady.  Close your eyes and hear the hustle bustle of linen production in days gone by, many relics of which are still visible today.  Here in idyllic surroundings, the visitor can picnic or simply enjoy the beauty of their environment.

2007 saw a redevelopment of the visitor and heritage centre which now hosts a permanent educational exhibition. Ritter’s Tearoom is adjacent to the centre.
