Moville from Space

Moville is in the lower centre of the photo. Further up the coast, and opposite Magilligan Point (County Derry), is Greencastle. The small "horn" at the top right is Inishowen Head. The townlands of Carrowhugh, Carrowtrasna and Stroove lie between Greencastle and Inishowen Head. The distance between Moville and Inishowen Head is about 10 kilometres (6 miles).

The two channels through Lough Foyle can be seen clearly, as can the treacherous Tunn Banks, which lie in the Atlantic, just outside the mouth of the Foyle.

At the top centre of the photo is Kinnagoe Bay, and running into it at the left is the Long Glen River. The river running into the centre of the bay is the Glennagiveny River. The townlands of Meenletterbale, Mossyglen and Glennagiveny are situated here.

The photo was taken in 2000, before the Greencastle - Magilligan ferry started to operate.
