About

Drumsurn ward lies within the larger Causeway Coast and Glens district, encompassing a primarily rural landscape of low hills and farmland. The area is centered around the small village of Drumsurn itself, with the wider ward including the settlements of Gortnaghey and Ballykelly. The topography is shaped by the River Roe, which flows northward towards Lough Foyle, defining much of the local scenery. Agricultural activity is a dominant feature across the ward's townlands.

A notable local landmark is the ancient Drumsurn Cross, a weathered stone monument situated near the old church. The area's quiet character is underscored by its network of narrow country lanes and dispersed farmsteads. The ward offers views towards the Sperrin Mountains to the south, while its northern edges approach the lough's coastal margins. This setting provides a sense of removed tranquillity within the broader council area.
