County Derry is one of the longest continuously inhabited places in Ireland and is a county of unparalleled beauty. You can drive north-east from Derry city, along the coast to the seaside towns of Portstewart and Portrush, and walk along the wonderfully beautiful beach at Castlerock. The Sperrin Mountains offer great walking opportunities while the town of Coleraine is home to the University of Ulster.
Derry City, County Derry
The historic walled city of Derry, also known as Londonderry, came into existence in 546 AD, when St Columba founded a monastery beside the River Foyle. It is the 4th largest city in Ireland, and the only one whose ancient walls survive intact. Stroll along the walls and visit the Tower Museum, which charts the history of the city from its beginning right up to the 1970s.
Derry has a great reputation for music so make sure you catch some live performances at the many pubs and venues throughout the city. Go wan, go wan - give it a go ;-)Read more
