Roe Valley Country Park is free, spacious, and genuinely good for a wander. RSPB Lough Foyle adds wildlife watching, and the Ballykelly to Greysteel Shore is a fine coastal stretch.
Kids are well looked after with Echo Echo Falconry, Crindle Stables, and Roe Mill Play Park. There's heritage at Drenagh Estate and Limavady Motte, plus Binevenagh above town with the Game of Thrones throne and sweeping views.

More about Limavady
Limavady has given the world one of its best-loved melodies. In the mid-19th century a local woman, Jane Ross, wrote down a tune she heard from a passing fiddler; that "Londonderry Air" later became the song "Danny Boy." A plaque marks her old home on Main Street.
The town's name comes from the Irish for "leap of the dog," after a legend of a chieftain's dog leaping a river to raise the alarm. Just southwest is the beautiful Roe Valley Country Park along the River Roe, and the town was also the birthplace of William Massey, who went on to become Prime Minister of New Zealand.
