Binevenagh AONB was designated in 2006 and includes the area between the Roe Estuary and Magilligan, the cliffs of Binevenagh, the Bann Estuary and Portstewart sand dunes.
The distinctive headland of Binevenagh with its dramatic cliffs marks the western limit of the Antrim basalt plateau. From the Gortmore viewpoint there are spectacular panoramic views of Magilligan and Inishowen, Islay and Jura in Scotland, and Mussenden Temple and Martello Tower in the distance.
The Binevenagh and Coastal Lowlands Landscape Partnership is a five year £3.4 million Heritage Lottery Funded Project with the vision to “Celebrate and connect local people with their unique landscape and heritage to build sustainable and resilient communities.”
