By the banks of the
Agivey River, on the main road between Coleraine and Maghera, lies
the small town of Garvagh. Garvagh was important from very early
times, but was destroyed by fire during the Battle of Garvagh, and
rebuilt as a Plantation town. Its broad main street and neatly
planned buildings are living evidence today of that period. A
striking feature of the town is the stone church tower with an
attractive clock and castellation which dominate the main
thoroughfare.
The rich rural tradition of the town and its environs is superbly
illustrated in the Garvagh Museum. It contains a veritable history
of agriculture and horticulture of the 19th and early 20th century.
For those who fancy jumping out of a plane, Wildgeese SkyDiving
Centre provides all the equipment necessary
Garvagh is also is known as a noted angling centre.
