Myroe Levels comprises reclaimed farmland, protected from Lough Foyle by a sea wall. A network of sheughs (open field drainage ditches), on the farmland and the Lough shore itself provide a variety of habitats where you will experience spectacular wintering populations of whooper and Bewick’s swan, along with great crested grebe, widgeon, shelduck and teal. Keep an eye out for common seal and otters as well.
Access and Facilities
Access from the Shore Avenue just off the Carrowclare Road. Please note that McConaghey’s level crossing (IC633 278) should be crossed with care. Limited parking is available at IC625 281. From here you can access up to 2.5 miles alongside the sea wall by heading south towards Ballymacran Bank and Ballykelly or north towards Roe Estuary.
