Riverwatch

Riverwatch is a great tourist attraction located just outside Derry City centre (opposite the Everglades Hotel) and with FREE admission it’s a must do for families and visitors.

Riverwatch is the Loughs Agency’s Interpretive Centre located on the banks of the Foyle in Prehen. It is a unique education resource and tourist attraction available to schools, communities and businesses organisations all over Ireland. Its aim is to ensure the environmental survival and maintain the economic benefits of the Foyle and Carlingford waterways through increasing the level of knowledge of those directly and indirectly using its resources.

Riverwatch has three main goals:

* to act as a focus and source of information;
* to raise environmental awareness of the general public;
* to inform the public of the social, environmental and economic resources of the loughs and their tributaries.

Visitors can see and learn all about our local wildlife and there are free activity packs to keep the kids entertained. We have lobster, crabs, starfish, coalfish, blenny’s and lots of other marine and freshwater fish and shellfish.

Riverwatch offers a wide and varied range of educational resources which are available FREE to schools and visiting groups upon request. We also have a catalogue of outreach programmes that are available. See the outreach section for more information.

Opening times: Monday – Saturday 10am – 4pm.
