The small town and surrounding area of Dungiven sits in the rural west of Causeway Coast and Glens district in Northern Ireland, where the River Roe cuts a scenic valley beneath the foothills of the Sperrin Mountains. It has the feel of a traditional market town set among farmland, with local shops, services and a handful of light industries serving the agricultural hinterland.
Culturally the area has a strong Gaelic and sporting life - the local GAA club is a community focus - and there are nearby archaeological features and historic churches that reflect a long past. Within easy reach of Derry/Londonderry, residents combine rural traditions with commuting links to the city, and the Roe Valley and surrounding uplands attract walkers and anglers.
