Roe Valley Country Park - Area 2 of 3 - Forest and River Roe
Roe Valley Country park is a three mile long wooded park that the River Roe partly runs through. It is managed by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. Several bridges are located over the river but only one of them is accessible by cars. During periods of heavy rain some parts of the Park may become inaccessible due flooding along the paths.
Numerous types of living creatures can be found in the park, such as foxes, badgers and otters in addition to over 60 species of birds.
Visitors can learn about the industrial and natural heritage of the area in the museum and countryside centre. You can also check out the remains of buildings that were previously used in the linen industry, a restored water wheel and much of the original equipment is preserved including ruined water mills used in linen production.
History
The Roe Valley Country Park reflects the evolving industrial history of Limavady. The geography of the river is ideal for the use of water power via mill races. Visitors can also spot remains of several water wheels and linen factories.
In 1896, R E Ritter used one of the old mill races to build Ulster's first AC power station, which supplied Limavady with electricity for many years. Other relics from the industrial age include the green watchtowers.
The last O’Cahan chief perished in the Tower of London in 1628. The site of his castle still stands on the steep riverbank.
Activities
The Park offers woodland walks along with opportunities for salmon and trout fishing, canoeing, rock climbing and orienteering.
• Fishing for salmon and brown trout.
• Kayaking, although the park bans boats and canoes.
• Swimming in a section of the river right below O'Cahan's Rock.
• Orienteering in the forest.
• Engagement Party Activities in the Park
Nearby Attractions
• Green Lane Museum
Visitors of the Park can enjoy the Green Lane Museum where they can view displayed historical exhibits showcasing the evolution of the linen and agricultural industries in Limavady in the 18th century. Much of the machinery is preserved, including a restored water wheel.
Seasonal opening hours:
May to August open Saturday to Thursday 1:00 pm – 4:45 pm
September open Saturday and Sunday 1:00 pm to 4:45 pm
• O’Cahan Castle
The park is also home to the original site of the famous O'Cahan's Castle. The O'Cahan clan ruled the Roe Valley freely from 1122 until 1260 when they were defeated by the Normans. Sadly, they did only regain their power over a hundred years later.
A legend is often associated with the clan that during one of the sieges they were involved in, one of their loyal dogs leapt across the Roe River to deliver a message to their allies in Dungiven. The spot from which the dog leapt became known as 'Leim an mhadaidh' or 'Leap of the Dog'. To this day it is still known as Dogleap.
The O'Cahans Castle was occupied until 1607, and its original site can still be seen today.
King James I granted Sir Thomas Philips, an English soldier, the land that was forfeited by the O'Cahans, including Roe Valley. Philips demolished O'Cahan's Castle and built a two-story house in its place.

• Roe Valley Country Park hosted a Dracula film
The last Dracula adaptation, starring Luke Evans, was filmed at Roe Valley Country Club in Limavady. The production company was granted permission to film at the park in 2013. While the Universal Pictures production was mainly based in Belfast, it was also filmed at various Northern Ireland locations. The country park remained open to the general public, although some areas were inaccessible while filming was in process.
The film is a retelling of the original Bram Stoker novel about Vlad, Prince of Transylvania, who becomes a vampire in order to defeat the Turkish army who are trying to take over his kingdom.
Mark H Durkan, Minister of Environment, had commented on the event, We have wonderful landscapes in Northern Ireland. We are enriched with attractive country parks. Roe Valley is just one example and films such as this provide a great opportunity to showcase our natural beauty both locally and on a world stage. While we apologise for any minor inconvenience this may cause to the visiting public, there is no doubt that the spin-off publicity will ultimately lead to many more tourist visits. The country park will remain open during the filming. Therefore the net benefits to the park, to the town of Limavady and to the rest of the north would far exceed any short term inconvenience.

St. Columb's Park - Area 1 of 3 - Derry - Northern Ireland
There are different parks in Northern Ireland and every single one of them carries its different characteristics that differ it from all the others. One of those different parks is St. Columb's that is located in Derry-Londonderry (
There is a history behind St. Columb's Park which started back in 1845 when the Hill Estate was bought by the Londonderry Corporation for use as a public park. This public park which is situated on Limavady Road in county Derry-Londonderry was formerly the estate of the Hill Family. There is a huge house located in this park which was called Chatham and its builder was a naval office Lieutenant John Rea, who his daughter later on married Sir George Hill of Brookhall.
The park is now a public place that allows all the people to go through and enjoy a walk or a sit there and see the Hill House which is found inside and which is still there and is known as St. Columb's Park House which aims at being located in the middle of the park and which was previously used as a Nurse's Home for a period of time.
There are several things that one could do in this park, it could be walking around, relaxing a little bit and enjoying the beauty of nature with the River Foyle which is moving through the park. There are different facilities found in this park, such as the Foyle Arena which is located just beside the entrance and which is a leisure and events facility. There is also the Far and Wild which is a leading outdoor adventure company, the Maiden City Soccer which is a local cross community football development organisation and the Columba Heritage Trail.
We have also been to two different other areas and locations in St. Columb's Park to bring other 360 degree video experiences and which are ( and (
If you are searching for a place to sit in and have something to drink then you could enjoy your time at the Cafe in the Park which is a family run business that gives you the chance to stay away from the chaos of the street and the city and enjoy some peaceful time in the middle of St. Columb's Park.
There are different events and programmes which might take place in the park, so if you want to attend any of these events then you should check what they have to offer before heading there - these events might differ according to the time of the year and the season and they are really interesting to attend any of them - so try not to miss the chance.
Derry-Londonderry is one of the six different counties of Northern Ireland - the use of the name differ according to who is saying it; the British people tend to refer to it as Londonderry while those who are living in Ireland tend to call it Derry.
There are other different parks in Northern Ireland which we have been to before, such as the Roe Valley Country Park ( which is also located in Limavady in county Derry-Londonderry and all those other parks which are found in different parts all around Northern Ireland.
If you decided to come to visit St. Columb's Park in county Derry-Londonderry then there are also some other attractions to consider visiting and which include the Magilligan Point which is one of the most famous places there ( Limavady Sculpture Trail ( and all the attractions which are located in Derry-Londonderry city such as the old famous Guildhall ( the Bogside ( the Bishops Gate ( and the Peace Bridge (
There are lots of things for one to see wherever he/she is heading and those going to Derry-Londonderry in Northern Ireland, they could visit these places we have suggested and of course they should never miss the chance of passing by one of the beautiful parks found in the country and which is St. Columb's Park and pass by those different sites that are located inside, such as St. Columb's Park House that is considered the most important building inside and which was supposed to be placed in the middle of the park.
Have you ever been to any of the beautiful parks found in Northern Ireland during your visit before? Have you ever been to St. Columb's park in county Derry-Londonderry? In the middle of all the visits and tours you are doing in the country, you should at some point decide to free your mind and visit a park so that you could walk and sit in silence within the green areas and away from all the chaos that you have been exposed to before.
