Limavady, Market town in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland
The River Roe flows through Limavady, which stands between Londonderry and Coleraine at the foot of Binevenagh mountain.
The settlement received its charter from King James I in 1613 and grew from a Plantation settlement established by Sir Thomas Phillips.
Jane Ross documented the melody known as Londonderry Air in Limavady, which later became the tune for the song Danny Boy.
The town center contains four primary schools, three secondary schools, and a regional college within walking distance of each other.
The name Limavady comes from Irish words meaning 'dog's leap', referring to a tale about a dog jumping across the River Roe.
