Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Drumsurn is a small village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 8 kilometres (5 miles) south-east of Limavady and 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) north-east of Dungiven. It is in the Roe Valley, at the foot of Donald's Hill at the edge of the Sperrin Mountains. It had a population of 357 people in the 2001 Census. It lies within the Limavady Borough Council area.

Drumsurn is mainly residential with educational, social, and recreational facilities. These include the high quality recreation grounds and community centre at St. Matthew’s GAC to the south of the village. The village of Drumsurn currently has a Roman Catholic population of greater than 95% (Ref: NI Neighbourhood Information Service). The Drumsurn Road is split between a mainly Protestant northern section up to Balteagh Presbyterian Church and a mainly Roman Catholic southern section thereafter. Relations between the two religious communities are extremely good, with both communities sending their children to Limavady Grammar School.

However there was a bombing of a bar in Drumsurn by loyalist paramilitaries which was a part of the civil strife which is known as "the Troubles". There was also a threatened bombing of bus full of children going to a Gaelic Athletic Association match in 2001.

The Drumsurn Road is the longest road in Limavady Borough Council.
