Derry
Copyright: Reading TomHistoric City Walls
It is essential to take a walk around Derry’s beautifully preserved (and never breached) seventeenth century walls which surround the old city. This is a good way to get a feel for the city, and to look over onto estates on both sides of the divide. Guided tours available.
Do & See
On the border with the Republic of Ireland, the city is a great base to explore the stunning beaches and hills of Donegal. In the town itself, an abundance of pastimes is available to visitors. Learn about local history at one of the many Derry museums, take a guided walking tour and catch an evening show at one of many local art centres. For a short nature getaway, stroll through St. Columb's park or venture out into Ness Wood a few miles away from the city.
