Accommodation limavady

The name Limavady comes form the Gaelic and means 'Leap of the dog'. There are several legends associated with the name, the most common being that a dog owned by one of the O'Cahan chiefs jumped a gordge on the River Roe bringing warning of an unexpected enemy attack. A locality south of Limavady town is called the Dogleap. The Borough is made up of the fertile Roe Valley and a long encircling arm of the Sperrin mountains. On the north it is bounded by Lough Foyle and the Atlantic ocan. There it boasts a 7 mile strand that has often been described as one of the best beaches in Europe and is a winner of the prestigious European Blue Flag Award. Much of the Limavady Borough hs been designated by he government as an area of outstanding natural beauty.
