Roe Valley Country Park runs for three miles either side of the River Roe near Limavady. The river plunges through spectacular gorges and its banks are clothed with mature mixed woodland. It is a beautiful tranquil location. The River Roe, especially after heavy rainfall, can be seen surging its way through the Park. The banks of the river are much quieter with a dense woodland of majestic trees. In springtime the woodland floor is covered with a carpet of wild flowers. A fascinating variety of damp-loving plants thrive all the year round in the moist shade of the riverbank slopes. The Park is the habitat of foxes, badgers and otters. Over sixty species of bird have been seen in the park. Above all, the park is a place for recreation - superb salmon and trout fishing, canoeing, rock climbing, orienteering and mile upon mile of riverside and woodland walks.
