Enagh Lough is an outstanding area of natural beauty, with vivid wildlife including red squirrels and Pipistrelle bats, both of which are fast becoming scarce in Northern Ireland.

The Bishop of Derry once hid on the island in a tower as he was a wanted man by some.

The island is recognised the Northern Ireland Environment Agency as a historical monument.

All around the lough is hidden history, and just a short walk away is the Enagh Trout Fishery and old graveyard.

On 29 August 1944, during World War II a Royal Navy Fairey Barracuda (DP872) was returning to its base at East Haven, Angus, Scotland from RNAS Maydown (HMS Shrike).
