Binevenagh National landscape
Clifftops, coastal viewpoints, and dramatic landscapes above the Atlantic
Sweeping coastal cliffs, rolling uplands, broad beaches, and open countryside create a landscape shaped by the Atlantic Ocean and some of Northern Ireland's most distinctive geology. Located along the north coast between Limavady and Castlerock, the Binevenagh National Landscape combines dramatic escarpments, coastal scenery, and rich wildlife habitats within one of the region's most striking landscapes.
Long-distance trails such as the Ulster Way and sections of the Causeway Coast walking network pass through the landscape, linking places including Limavady, Downhill, Castlerock, Bellarena, and the surrounding coastal countryside. Clifftop paths, hillside trails, coastal routes, and countryside tracks reveal changing views across Lough Foyle, the Atlantic coastline, Binevenagh Mountain, and the distant hills of Donegal, creating journeys closely connected to the character of the landscape.
Whether exploring the viewpoints above the coast, following routes through the surrounding countryside, or walking between beaches, cliffs, and historic landmarks, Binevenagh rewards time spent on foot. Expansive scenery, rich wildlife, and a remarkable sense of space make it one of Northern Ireland's most rewarding destinations for self-guided travel.
