The County Derry region
County Londonderry or County Derry (Irish: Contae Dhoire) is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland in the province of Ulster in Ireland. It was named after its main town – and later city and administrative centre – Derry (Londonderry), which lies in the north-western corner of the county.
The highest point in the county is the summit of Sawel Mountain (678m) on the border with County Tyrone. Sawel is part of the Sperrin Mountains, which dominate the southern part of the county. To the east and west, the land falls into the valleys of the Bann and Foyle rivers respectively; the north of the county is distinguished by the steep cliffs, dune systems and remarkable beaches of the Atlantic coast.
The county is home to a number of important buildings and landscapes: these include the excellently preserved seventeenth-century city walls of Derry; the fine National Trust Plantation house and estate at Springhill; the Mussenden Temple with its spectacular views of the Atlantic; the dykes, artificial coastlines and internationally important bird sanctuaries on the eastern shore of Lough Foyle; and the visitor centre at Bellaghy Bawn, close to the childhood home of Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney.
Castlerock area
The actor James Nesbitt lived in Castlerock when a teenager.
The village was also the holiday destination for the famous author C. S. Lewis. Born in Belfast, he holidayed in Castlerock as a child and took inspiration from Downhill House for some of his books including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Local historical interest is concentrated on the 18th century Bishop of Derry's ruined palace, cliff-top Mussenden Temple and Black Glen set within the Downhill Estate, now owned by the National Trust. The palace and estate were created by Harvey Bruce Earl of Bristol and the Bishop of Derry in the 1780s. The Mussenden Temple, with its precarious perch on the basalt cliff edge is one of the most photographed scenes in Ireland.
The 17th century Hezlett House is a thatched cottage with a cruck structure and is situated at the crossroads near the village. Built in around 1691 (Eccles 1996, p 184) it was originally a rectory or farmhouse.
Also at the crossroads is an ancient tree reputed to be where the infamous highway man Cushy Glen was hung.

Guestbook
I loved it here. Thanks. Stella, Bangor What a wonderful place you have. Thanks for letting us share it. John Belfast. Well equipped property, modern, clean and fantastic views. Fishing and Golf great. Try the Temple Bar for food. Hi Margaret/Julie Just to say thank you very much for the lovely 2 days we had at your apartment last weekend. It is a lovely place, so well equipped and also so quiet (after Derry) and convenient for the beach etc. We had a great time, despite some poor weather at times! It was very clean, much more than other places we have stayed at, makes a big difference! Thanks again,Peter Vellacott
