The Roe Valley Country Park stands on the outskirts of Limavady and with its spectacular riverside and woodland walks and scenery, is one of Limavady Borough's premier attractions. River Roe flows for three miles throughout the park, providing scope for fishing and canoeing. Rock climbing can be undertaken on O'Cahan's rock, a famous landscape feature in the park associated with the O'Cahan Clan. The visitor and heritage centre provides interpretation of the environmental heritage on view in the park. Worth a visit regardless of the season, the park acts as a living history of Limavady. The famous leap of the dog took place from the Roe Bridge, famously giving Limavady its name. Ulster's first domestic hydro-electric power station operated from here, under the guidance of local genius, J.E.Ritter. The park also contains remains of buildings used in the linen industry and a restored water wheel. Here in idyllic surroundings, the visitor can picnic or sample the home cooked cuisine of the Spinning Wheel restaurant.
