St. Columb's Park - Area 3 of 3 - Derry, Northern Ireland
There are different parks in Northern Ireland and every single one of them carries its different characteristics that differ it from all the others. One of those different parks is St. Columb's that is located in Derry-Londonderry (
There is a history behind St. Columb's Park which started back in 1845 when the Hill Estate was bought by the Londonderry Corporation for use as a public park. This public park which is situated on Limavady Road in county Derry-Londonderry was formerly the estate of the Hill Family. There is a huge house located in this park which was called Chatham and its builder was a naval office Lieutenant John Rea, who his daughter later on married Sir George Hill of Brookhall.
The park is now a public place that allows all the people to go through and enjoy a walk or a sit there and see the Hill House which is found inside and which is still there and is known as St. Columb's Park House which aims at being located in the middle of the park and which was previously used as a Nurse's Home for a period of time.
There are several things that one could do in this park, it could be walking around, relaxing a little bit and enjoying the beauty of nature with the River Foyle which is moving through the park. There are different facilities found in this park, such as the Foyle Arena which is located just beside the entrance and which is a leisure and events facility. There is also the Far and Wild which is a leading outdoor adventure company, the Maiden City Soccer which is a local cross community football development organisation and the Columba Heritage Trail.
We have also been to two different other areas and locations in St. Columb's Park to bring other 360 degree video experiences and which are ( and (
If you are searching for a place to sit in and have something to drink then you could enjoy your time at the Cafe in the Park which is a family run business that gives you the chance to stay away from the chaos of the street and the city and enjoy some peaceful time in the middle of St. Columb's Park.
There are different events and programmes which might take place in the park, so if you want to attend any of these events then you should check what they have to offer before heading there - these events might differ according to the time of the year and the season and they are really interesting to attend any of them - so try not to miss the chance.
Derry-Londonderry is one of the six different counties of Northern Ireland - the use of the name differ according to who is saying it; the British people tend to refer to it as Londonderry while those who are living in Ireland tend to call it Derry.
There are other different parks in Northern Ireland which we have been to before, such as the Roe Valley Country Park ( which is also located in Limavady in county Derry-Londonderry and all those other parks which are found in different parts all around Northern Ireland.
If you decided to come to visit St. Columb's Park in county Derry-Londonderry then there are also some other attractions to consider visiting and which include the Magilligan Point which is one of the most famous places there ( Limavady Sculpture Trail ( and all the attractions which are located in Derry-Londonderry city such as the old famous Guildhall ( the Bogside ( the Bishops Gate ( and the Peace Bridge (
There are lots of things for one to see wherever he/she is heading and those going to Derry-Londonderry in Northern Ireland, they could visit these places we have suggested and of course they should never miss the chance of passing by one of the beautiful parks found in the country and which is St. Columb's Park and pass by those different sites that are located inside, such as St. Columb's Park House that is considered the most important building inside and which was supposed to be placed in the middle of the park.
Have you ever been to any of the beautiful parks found in Northern Ireland during your visit before? Have you ever been to St. Columb's park in county Derry-Londonderry? In the middle of all the visits and tours you are doing in the country, you should at some point decide to free your mind and visit a park so that you could walk and sit in silence within the green areas and away from all the chaos that you have been exposed to before.

Just so you know the song Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd started playing from ipod when I turned the engine on.
For some reason half the video cut out where i was showing the car's temperature reading, it read -1. This is not accurate as the car needs to be running for a while to get an accurate reading.

Moville & Cornashamma Bay Co. Donegal 6 Oct 2019 v1
Moville
Moville (Irish: Bun an Phobail) is a coastal town located on the Inishowen Peninsula of County Donegal, Ireland, close to the northern tip of the island of Ireland. It is the first coastal town of the Wild Atlantic Way when starting on the northern end.
The town has a scenic location on the western shore of Lough Foyle, approximately 30 kilometres (20 mi) from Derry, which lies across the border in Northern Ireland. Features include Moville Green, a large seaside park in the Victorian style with bandstands, walking trails, playgrounds, a coastal footpath and views east across the lough to Northern Ireland.
In the second half of the 19th century, Moville was a point of embarkation for emigrants, to Canada and the United States of America. Steamships of the Anchor Line of Glasgow, and others enroute from Glasgow to New York City called at Moville to pick up additional passengers.
Moville Pile Lighthouse
Moville Lighthouse or as its been call ‘The Eiffel Tower of Moville’ was built in 1882 is located about 550 metres offshore from the town, is 13.5 m (44 ft) high and flashes once every 2.5 seconds with a range of four miles. A red sector covers Moville Bank inshore.
This was the largest in a series of 19th century pile lighthouses that helped guide ships down Lough Foyle to Derry, and is one of just three of its kind remaining in Ireland. The other two are located at Dundalk and Cobh.
Responsibility for its operation and maintenance rests with Derry Port and Harbour Commissioners who completed restoration work in 2008. Keepers lived in town, but spent the night in the watch room.
The Fid
The Fid, sited in a prominent position, on the Old Stone Pier in the town of Moville, the impressive structure was designed by local artist Locky Morris.
Inspired by an actual Fid - a conical pin of hardwood used by fishermen for splicing ropes and nets and by sailmakers for opening holes in the sails without tearing the material. The artist came across the hand held tool during his research as part of the long-line fishing basket display in the Inishowen Maritime Museum in Greencastle.
The striking wooden structure was carved from a single oak trunk and is over 30 feet high and over 3 feet wide at its base, the large upright structure symbolises an ancient name of the place itself, Maigh Bhile ‘the plain of the sacred tree’ and represents Moville’s rich fishing and emigration history.
Martello Tower – Magilligan
The Martello tower was built towards the end of the wars in 1812 and it was one of the most northerly of the 74 constructed all around the coasts of Ireland to fire on any invading fleet. The British original plan was to build a fort at Magilligan point but this turned out to be impractical due to the soft ground.
It is one of 74 constructed to fire on any invading fleet and withstand lengthy sieges. It has three floors, and its walls are 9ft thick.
A round dressed sandstone tower (from the Ballyharrigan quarries in Bovevagh), originally housing a 24 pound cannon mounted on the top. It was fastened to a central pivot and moved on a circular rail so that it could point in all directions. The tower has 9ft thick walls with three floors, and was built on top of a spring to ensure fresh water in case of a siege. Below the gun platform were the living quarters and the ground floor was used to store powder and ammunition. A similar tower but with double-gunned exists in Greencastle, on the other side of Lough Foyle.
Cornashamma Bay
Cornashamma Bay, known locally as Sweet Nellie, is a secluded beach and is located on the north coast of Ireland a mile to the southwest of Inishowen Lighthouse on the eastern side of the Inishowen Peninsula. It provided another anchoring opportunity along the eastern Inishowen shoreline. Cornashamma Bay has no facilities and the nearest supplies can be found in the fishing village of Greencastle, the small town of Moville or alternatively the small village of Stroove a few miles north of the village of Greencastle off the R238
Warren Light
Is located at the entrance to Lough Foyle, 2.4 km southwest of the Inishowen or Shove Lighthouse and beside the 12th Tee of Greencastle Golf Club which is just north of Greencastle town. Built in 1861 the Warren Point Lighthouse or Warren Light has a Focal Plane of (a height from the water level to the light) of 9m (30 ft). The brick cylindrical tower is 8m (27ft) in height is painted white with a green trim and the white light flashes every 1.5 seconds. This light is managed by the Derry Port and Harbour Commissioners and site managed by Greencastle Golf Club.
