MOVILLE.—This delightful spot is one of the most attractive places in Ireland. There the pleasure steamers ply constantly in summer, discharging their hosts of citizens seeking the invigorating air of sea and mountain. The town is handsome and well laid out, and is much visited as a watering place, and by persons attracted by the wild and interesting scenery of the locality. The Squire's Carn is not quite three miles to the west, from which a noble view may be obtained; and a still better from the mountain of Craignamaddey, equidistant to the north, which not only embraces a beautiful panoramic view of the lough and of the Derry Mountains, but a lengthened prospect of the causeway cliffs. Every spot in the vicinity has some tradition, and every mile a legend. The territory was originally the stronghold of the Kinel Owen, and later of the O'Dohertys.
