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. There were no terrorist incidents in the Drumsurn area during the Troubles.
