Top best places to visit in Derry, Northern Ireland
Derry or, more officially, Londonderry is the second largest city of Northern Ireland.

The city is also nicknamed the Maiden City by virtue of the fact that its walls were never breached despite being besieged on three separate occasions.

Derry is the only remaining walled city in Ireland that is completely intact and it is one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe.

There are many historical buildings that can be visited when walking down the City Walls.
St Columb’s Cathedral is the mother church of the Ireland Diocese of Derry.

Situated along the City Walls, First Derry Presbyterian Church has recently been re-opened and is now used as a place of worship.

Another admirable church of great importance is the neo-Gothic St Augustine’s Church.

Located within the historic walls Tower Museum, the main museum of the city, tells the story of the city from prehistory to the present.

Right in the center of Derry is a monument dedicated to the citizens who lost their lives during World War I, the Diamond War Memorial.

In the Bogside neighborhood is a historical landmark, a free-standing gable wall, that commemorates Free Derry.

In the same area of the Free Derry Museum is the Bloody Sunday Memorial.

But the Bogside is best known for its large political murals found on the walls of Free Derry Corner.

A more contemporary sculpture in the city, known as Hands Across the Divide, serves as a symbol of the two communities coming together.

Outside of the city walls are many important landmarks worth visiting, such as:
St Eugene’s Cathedral, where there is the Roman Catholic minster.

St Columba’s Church Long Tower, the Roman Catholic Church with the beautiful altar.

And the Guildhall, a large hall where many social and political events have been held.

The Guildhall is located between City Walls and the River Foyle.

EXPLORING DERRY/LONDONDERRY: The historic CATHEDRAL of ST COLUMB (Northern Ireland)

SUBSCRIBE!! - Let's go for a tour inside the magnificent Cathedral of St Columb in the beautiful city of Londonderry (or, Derry) in Northern Ireland. Beautiful inside views and of the outside, so that we can admire its architecture... Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Derry, officially Londonderry, is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Irish name Daire or Doire meaning oak grove. In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry,[8][9] Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.

Derry Londonderry-An Amazing View of the Maiden City-Everyone should visit Derry and walk the walls.

Check out Derry now in this short video, see what Derry daily life is like. Derry is the 2nd city of Northern Ireland, it is situated in the UK, but on the Island of Ireland. It is often called the Maiden City or the Walled City in Northern Ireland.

Sometimes it is referred to as Derry and in other cases it is called Londonderry and this has been the subject of a name dispute between Irish nationalists and unionists; nationalists are the ones to call it Derry while unionists are those who refer to it as Londonderry. When it comes to the legal side, it is known as Londonderry.

It is not about the name of the city but it is about the things to do there and the places to visit in it. Our journey in this beautiful city started with Londonderry Courthouse which is one of the old buildings that are found in the city and which you will at some point pass by.

Austins was the second place to pass by in Derry/Londonderry. Austins is the world's oldest independent department store that was established back in 1830 by Thomas Austin and it has been working since that time until today. It is not just for the sake of shopping, but this old building is another reason why one will come to it and know more about the history of its foundation.

Among the other touristic attractions of this city in Northern Ireland, we came to the Bishop's Gate which was built at the suggestion of Bishop Hervey in 1789 to celebrate the centenary of the siege. Bishop's Gate will take you to Bishop's street and there you could have a stroll down doing nothing specific (

Among the list of places which we visited in Londonderry, we have been to The Craft Village. The Craft Village is the reconstruction of an 18th century street and 19th century square that provide an eclectic mix of artisan craft shops, balconied apartments and different restaurants and coffee shops which one could sit it and enjoy their time. We have walked across this village and loved every detail related to it and we would suggest it for those who will be visiting Derry anytime soon and there you will also find souvenir gifts to take back home to your friends and family.

Moving forward with our trip, we visited the Guildhall and Square which is another touristic attraction for people to visit while being in Derry. The Guildhall in Derry is an old building that is standing there from 1890 and it is the building in which the elected members of Derry and Strabane District Council meet. The old 17th century Guildhall was first located in the Diamond area of the Walled City but this building was then destroyed by fire and the new building was assigned to be built in a city square. In addition to the social and political meetings which are held in the Guildhall, this is also the place where the Feis Doire Colmcille - an event which celebrates Irish culture - is held. Guildhall Square which is just in front of the building is the main city square in Derry - Londonderry and is also the place where different important and beneficial events are usually held (

One of the other things that people tend to check while they are in Derry/Londonderry is the Peace Bridge. Peace Bridge was opened back in 2011 by Johannes Hahn and it is both a cycle and foot bridge that crosses over River Foyle. The aim of the bridge was to connect Ebrington Square to the rest of the city centre, and that what happened eventually with this bridge that is one of the newest three to be found in Derry (

The last stop in this video around the city of Derry in Northern Ireland is Shipquay Gate which is one of the original four city gates dating back from 1805. It is interesting to come across those different old gates which stand from the history until today but which will bring you to the modern world that you are living in - they give the city a different kind of atmosphere.

These are the places we passed by in Derry/Londonderry, but if you are searching for something more then you could check the rest of the gates found there and you could also consider visiting St. Columb's Park which is one of the most famous to be found in Derry/ Londonderry (

Back in 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds and from that time the legal name has been Londonderry although some people refer to it as Derry.

Derry tourism is growing in recent years - and there is plenty now to do in Derry on a night out. The city itself is a great walk with many historic points especially the walls that surround the city. Doire as it is called in Gaelic - is well worth a visit by any tourist

Magilligan Point - County Londonderry, Northern Ireland

Lough Foyle Ferry sailing point - Magilligan point has its own history and is a great viewing point across Lough Foyle. It is part of the British army firing range and part of nature reserve - also is close to Magilligan Prison. From the area/beach - there are great views across to Moville and Greencastle. Well worth a stop - as part of the Causeway Coastal Route.

Magilligan point is a peninsula that lies in the northwest of County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, at the entrance of Lough Foyle. The name Magilligan comes from MacGilligans country which formed a major part of the barony of Keenaght and is situated within Causeway Coast and Glens district (

The Magilligan Point guards the mouth of Lough Foyle and is also home to Lough Foyle Ferry and Martello Tower which has been beautifully restored but is actually locked. Heading to this place means that you are willing to have a short walk by the beach in order to enjoy the good weather - according to when you are visiting :-) - or else to spot the bird and sea life.

The most interesting thing about visiting Magilligan Point in Northern Ireland is considered the tower which - according to history - is believed to be built in order to stop the French invasion, and thus one of the main reasons why tourists tend to come to this place is actually to see that tower.

Martello towers, which are also referred to as Martellos - are those small defensive forts built back across the British Empire in the 19th century and most of them were coastal forts. The reason why they are believed to be built in order to stop the French invasion is the fact that when they were built, it was the time of the French Revolutionary Wars. The way these towers were built back in time, helped with invasions due to their strong structures and the way they were built, but now most of them are considered historical monuments and attractions that people visit in order to enjoy what the old people used to build and were good at.

Visiting the Magilligan Point needs a plan - or an advice - which will get you through this trip happy and safe. First of all, be assured that food and drink are found there and that you could easily find a bar there to serve you with what you want - toilets are there too! At the beginning of the trip, you will park where it is adjacent to the boundary of Magilligan Nature Reserve. After you park and get inside through the kissing gate, you will view the Martello tower straight ahead. Access inside the military firing range is restricted, so all what you will be doing there is walking around the place and viewing the tower from the outside - maybe taking a couple of pictures of the place as well.

Magilligan Point is considered an important attraction in Northern Ireland for the Martello Tower mainly, but let's all agree that visiting the place in general is a different kind of experience which is not the same like all those other historical spots that one visits in Northern Ireland.

Londonderry, where Magilligan Point is situated in Northern Ireland, is the second largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth city in the island of Ireland - which is also known and referred to as Derry. This city gained the London prefix after it was granted a Royal Charter by King James I to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. Londonderry is close to the border with County Donegal (

Visiting the Magilligan Point means that you are going to be in Londonderry - or Derry - and this also brings us to the point where we should mention some of the other attractions of this city and some of the landmarks which one should visit and come across. From those which we suggest to the people visiting Londonderry anytime soon for the Magilligan Point, one could enjoy the walls of the city since Londonderry is considered the only walled city in Ireland, going to the Tower Museum which carries different shipwrecks inside, passing by the Guildhall which is the most famous building in the city ( seeing the city from the Peace Bridge ( coming into St. Columb's Cathedral, or else enjoying other general things like a traditional experience, getting to know more about the village, or else attending an open-air art or even attending the Halloween in the city (

Northern Ireland is a magical place where one could move from one city to the other and still manage to come across different places to visit from which one will also learn about lots of new things related to history (
