Manannán mac Lir - Binevenagh Moutain Limavady - NI
Where? Gortmore Viewpoint is located right on the Bishop's Road by the Binevenagh Loop which is part of the Causeway Coastal Route.
What? Manannán mac Lir Celtic Sea God at Gortmore Viewpoint in a 360 Degree Video!
Binevenagh Mountain towers over Limavady Borough, giving breathtaking views of Lough Foyle, Inishowen and the northern coastline. It is also home to a wide variety of birds including the peregrine falcon.
The Statue of Manannán mac Lir
The Celtic God of the sea, after whom the Isle of Man is named, is one of five life-size sculptures highlighting the myths and legends of the Roe Valley's cultural heritage. The statue made headlines in 2015 when it suddenly disappeared from Binevenagh Mountain and went missing for an entire month. The monument was created by sculptor John Sutton, known for his work on the popular HBO hit TV series Game Of Thrones, had became a popular tourist attraction. The monument featured the figure of Manannan Mac Lir standing in a boat's prow at the top of the mountain.
The nine feet monument was later found by a group of ramblers dumped on the mountainside just a few hundred meters from its original spot after a land and air search involving PSNI officers had failed to locate it. The statue was badly damaged and whoever cut it down left a wooden cross with the words 'You shall have no other gods before me' in its place. The artist spent the next six months painstakingly creating a replacement sculpture to be put in the original's place.
“It took too much effort because you can see where they tried to saw it off at the beard, the neck and the arms,” said Mr. Sutton. “They obviously went to some effort, but they shot themselves in the foot. I don’t think they realised there would be such a backlash. Everybody was talking about it. They obviously didn’t think it through.”
The replacement… quickly attracted a large crowd of spectators. Some people might say this is a huge waste of money, but I think it is a vital investment in tourism for the local area. The original one was found with chunks missing from its head and was too badly damaged to be put back. But I am hoping we can use it in the local arts centre for educational purposes. The new one has been reinforced, but I hope those involved in damaging the first one don't do the same again. Tourism is the only real sustainable industry we have in the northwest and this piece of art is vital to help boost that industry. We even had a bus tour come to see the sculpture almost the minute it went back up again.
Local people living near Lough Foyle believe Manannán's spirit is released during fierce storms and some even remark “Manannán is angry today”. It is believed that he inhabits the offshore sandbanks between Inishtrahull Sound and Magilligan waters. Historians believe that Mannin Bay was named after him and he is thought to be an ancestor of the Conmhaícne Mara, the people for whom Connemara is named. According to local folklore, one day Manannán’s daughter was caught in a storm while boating in Kilkieran Bay, so to rescue her from the danger she was in, he conjured up Mann Island.
Located within the Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre, Limavady Visitor Information Centre provides information services for locals and visitors who are new to the area.
The center provides a range of free tourism literature, including accommodation, events, visitor guides and maps with details on the Causeway Coast and Glens area and Northern Ireland. It also provides an accommodation booking service, assistance with genealogy inquiries and information on planning trips. The center is open all year round Monday through Wednesday and Saturday 09:30 - 17:00, Thursday & Friday 09:30 - 21:30.
This is one of the different adventures we once had in Limavady and its sculpture trail but you could still manage to see some of the other trips we have done there before ( Among the important things which are found in Limavady, co Derry, is the most famous song in the whole world which is Danny Boy ( and which we have also passed by to see the sculpture it has in this trail (
There are different sculptures found in Limavady and which are making this place much more famous and more visited by tourists and local people who have not been there yet - we were amazed with those different sculptures and loved digging back behind the history that they carry and know more about the different stories which they are carrying and which made them appear.

Top 10 Worst Places to Live in England
Get more Tips here! destinationtips.com
According to ilivehere.co.uk, which has been compiling this list for more than a decade, with the votes from thousands of readers, these are the WORST places to live in England.
10: Blackpool
Once famed for its golden mile, Blackpool now conjures up images of drunken stags and hens, falling over in the street and spewing on themselves, before retiring to a grotty seaside B&B.
9: Oldham
The most deprived town in England according to the ONS, where the streets have been described as “graffiti covered, fly-tipped shells of what they once were”.
8: Sunderland
has the highest rate of teen pregnancies in Europe.
sexual offences, violent crime and theft are all on the up and are higher than the national average. (I’ve seen policemen on pedal bikes chasing chavs in stolen cars. You might not believe it but I really have seen it!)
7: Gravesend
One voter comments: I have lived in Gravesend all my life. I have visited many other crap towns across Kent like Lewisham, Dartford, Chatham and so on and not one so far, has even came near to being as chav infested as Gravesend.
6. BRADFORD
A Commenter says: Bradford is literally hell on earth. The city centre resembles a squalid cess pit, full of monstrous partially demolished 60’s concrete office blocks, Pound shops, amusement arcades, prostitutes, heroin addicts, Eastern European car-jackers, Asian drug dealers, pre-pubescent mums and mad alcoholic tramps having arguments with themselves.
Being the sixth largest city in the country, in terms of population, it now boasts another famous serial killer...
5: ROCHDALE
One in seven people in Rochdale had no qualifications at all. Weekly earnings were £413 on average last year, compared to £676 in London.
4. SCUNTHORPE
A town once voted the least romantic place in the country.
Apparently Maccy Ds is a chav’s staple diet. Well the small town of Scunthorpe has 3.
3. LUTON
One commenter points out; on Christmas day the local McDonalds gets busier every year”
Black, White, Asian it doesn’t matter, everyone looks like they’re trying to escape or have given up hope on life itself.
2. KINGSTON UPON HULL
based on official government statistics, Hull is the worst place to live in England.
1. DOVER
Apparentñy Dover only beat Hull by 16 votes.
One reader comments;
Let us for a moment imagine that the British Isles are the silhouette of an old man. Scotland is his cap, Cornwall his toes, Anglia his curved spine, making Dover his herpes infested s**t-hole.
Which do you think is the Worst Place to Live in England?
