The nearest airport is City Of Derry Airport which is roughly 10 miles (15km) from the town with mainly domestic operations from London Luton, London Stansted, Liverpool, Glasgow Prestwick, Birmingham, Dublin and a seasonal flight from Alicante during the summer months.

All bus services in the province are operated by Translink under the Ulsterbus name. There are frequent express bus services from Belfast to the nearby town of Dungiven where a taxi or connecting bus can be taken to get to Limavady. There are less frequent bus services to local towns. Express buses from Dublin go to [wiki=5a70e97de9e645bf0cc0a655a084fc41]Derry[/wiki] where a bus can be taken to Limavady.
The trains are also run by Translink under the NI Railways name. Although quite underfunded Translink offer services on modern and accesible trains are are due to receive newer trains within a few years. There is a single line from [wiki=623145997cee6352dace475eaf530fff]Belfast[/wiki] to [wiki=5a70e97de9e645bf0cc0a655a084fc41]Derry[/wiki] with the nearest stop to Limavady being Bellarena. From Bellarena it is easiest to arrange a taxi to pick you up as it is not a station but instead a halt with no bus services without going into the nearby town. Trains are less frequent than the buses and take longer, roughly 2 hours from Belfast and are susceptible to delays and speed restrictions due to current works on the line but will reopen by the end of June.
Car is by far the easiest way to get to the area with well maintained roads and ample parking within the town. The main A2 road runs from [wiki=5a70e97de9e645bf0cc0a655a084fc41]Derry[/wiki] to Limavady and goes past the airport. There is a main route from Belfast (M2 and then A6) which is a mix of motorway, dual carriageway and regular road to [wiki=5a70e97de9e645bf0cc0a655a084fc41]Derry[/wiki] and runs through the nearby town of Dungiven where the B68 can be taken to Limavady.
Buses offer reliable (but sometimes infrequent) services to the historical [wiki=5a70e97de9e645bf0cc0a655a084fc41]Derry[/wiki] City and the compact town of Coleraine. From Coleraine there are many bus services to destinations along the North Coast.
Car is the most practical and easiest way of seeing the area. The roads are very well maintained and very well sign posted with many towns (including [wiki=54889c13d251e6fddfaf73ea4b092163]Limavady[/wiki] itself) having a bypass to ease traffic within the town centre. There are main roads to both Coleraine and [wiki=5a70e97de9e645bf0cc0a655a084fc41]Derry[/wiki] and costal roads to explore the North Coast.
Binevenagh Mountain has ANOB (Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty) status and has some great views from the top over [wiki=54889c13d251e6fddfaf73ea4b092163]Limavady[/wiki] and across Lough Foyle towards [wiki=7ec2fa786c3492a07a2f902c5646fe01]County Donegal[/wiki]. The A2 coastal road takes you round the mountain and there are small roads that take you to the top. The B201 towards Coleraine can also be taken to get to the top of the mountain with smaller roads that continue to the top and across it. On top of the 385 m (1,263 ft) mountain is a lake which is good for fishing.
Roe Valley Country park is a 3 mile long mostly wooded park run by Northern Ireland Environment Agency and contains part of the River Roe. There are several bridges crossing the river at various points with the one at the visitor centre being the only bridge accessible by cars. There are several ways to get to the park. Taking Roemill Road through the town there is a sign indicating O'Cahans Rock. This will take you to the O'Cahans Rock area of the park where after a short walk there is a bridge crossing the river and a large rock which is sometimes used for absailing. In this part the River is relatively slow flowing and local people sometimes bathe in the river underneath the bridge.
Closer to the visitors centre which is accessed by taking the same B68 Ballyquin Road towards Dungiven the river is faster flowing. Here there is a cafe, pond, and a large carpark with several areas for barbeques. There is a small museum at an old power generating building and there are lots of short routes for walks along the river banks.
During periods of heavy rain some parts of the Park may become inaccessible due to the river swelling and flooding the paths.
Easily one of the most beautiful beaches in Northern Ireland with Blue Flag status. It is also one of the longest beaches in Northern Ireland stretching from Magilligan Point across the North Coast. You will often see people flying kites or even kitesurfing and kiteboarding on the beach. From the strand you can also see parts of County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland which is accesible by the Magillian Ferry service which goes from Magillian Point to Greencastle.
One problem with this beach is that cars are permitted to drive on it, which spoils the scenery, attracts boy racers and makes it unsafe for children although there are calls for cars to be banned on the beach.
A short walk from the beach itself along a wooden path will take you to Benone Tourist Complex where there is a 9 hole golf course, putting green, driving range, tennis courts and an outdoor kids activities area which includes a heated pool, play areas and a bouncy castle. The complex also has a campsite with pitches with electric points, pitches without electricity and a small area for tents. There are several privately owned campsites adjacent to the council owned site which have larger static caravans which are often available to rent over the summer.
There are a variety of pubs available in the town. One of the most well known pubs in the town is The Corner Bar, which is on the top end of Market Street opposite the First Trust bank. Another is Frank Owens which is located on Main Street directly beside the Maxol fuelling station and has a beer garden and outdoor marquee and hosts many events of the Jazz and Blues festival that takes place in June.
Wine bars are quite sparse within the town (there are more in nearby Derry) but the most notable one would be Restaurant 50 which is located on Catherine Street, a few doors down from the Northern Bank.
There are plenty of wine bars in [wiki=5a70e97de9e645bf0cc0a655a084fc41]Derry[/wiki]
