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

Londonderry Historical Walking Tour with Martin McCrossan
In August, 2018, we visited Londonderry. A highspot was the historical walking tour offered for a small fee by Martin McCrossan from Derry City Tours. Our guide did a magnificent job explaining the city's history while we walked around the walls encircling the old city center. I hope this video will prove useful to school children fulfilling a homework assignment, or people who have taken the tour who, like me, would love to review all they learned. Thanks to Derry City Tours and Martin McCrossan.
Thanks also to Reta Ceol for All Things Bright and Beautiful.

Christmas in Derry - Top Attractions in Derry/Londonderry
Merry Christmas!
Derry - or as it is also famously known as Londonderry - is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland, that is known for the intact 17th century Derry's walls with its seven gates. There are different touristic attractions in Derry/Londondery in general, such as St. Columb's Cathedral, Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum, and more (
During the Christmas time, every other city will be a piece of art with its decorations, places to visit, and the things to be done, and we are taking you through the tour we have made during this time of the year in Derry/Londonderry and the places we have managed to visit.
Our first stop was the Guildhall, which is the building in which the elected members of Derry and Strabane District Council meet. This building was built back in 1890 and it is a place that one should pass by and see while being in Derry. The Guildhall is located in the center of the city, just outside the city walls and close to the Peace Bridge (
Since the Guildhall is located just next to Peace Bridge then it is a must for you to pass by it. Peace Bridge in Derry/Londonderry is a cycle and foot bridge across the River Foyle in Derry, Northern Ireland, that opened in 2011, connecting Ebrington Square with the rest of the city centre. Peace Bridge is the newest one to be built in the city of Derry/Londonderry (
Every single place is different during Christmas time, the whole country turns into a glittery place. We have walked through the streets of Derry/Londonderry to see and feel how Christmas feels like in this city, we have gone to markets, played some games, got into some cafes, and managed to see all the decorations done to the buildings, the restaurants, the streets, the markets, etc.
There are different places to visit and things to do in Derry/Londonderry anytime of the year - whether its Christmas or not. When you are visiting the Guildhall in Derry during Christmas, try to make sure you are choosing the perfect timing so that you would be able to check the Winterland Market as well, which was held from the 13th to the 16th of December 2018. In this market, there was a cinema, the market itself, and the Winterland Market bar.
Are you still thinking about the places to go to in Derry, Northern Ireland? You could go to the Mussenden Temple ( hit the Causeway Coastal Route which is one of the famous destinations in all of Northern Ireland ( the Tower Museum which is spread over five floors and its uppermost level gives stunning panoramic views of the Walled City and River Foyle, as well as walking down the old streets of the city and getting more introduced to the history that lies within.
Throughout the years, we have been to different cities and places in Northern Ireland during the festive time of Christmas and New Years, we have been to Antrim Castle Gardens which was all set up with the Christmas decorations and vibes ( we have also been to Belfast Christmas Market before, walking within those booths standing there with their products and enjoying a hot chocolate while walking through the decorations ( and we have even done some Christmas shopping in Belfast in one of the most famous shopping places there which is known as Victoria Square ( we have seen before the beautiful Christmas lights in Dublin, Ireland ( and finally we loved being in Lisburn before during this festive season so we could also attend the Christmas vibes there (
And who would not enjoy wandering the streets of a city that is decorated for Christmas and the New Years? Almost nobody. Wherever you are headed, you will always find those decorations that will attract your eyes to them and which you will immediately fall in love with.

Irish Murals Mark The Troubles in Bogside Derry/Londonderry - The Bogside Murals - History Tour
A walking tour of the Derry/Londonderry murals. Many found in the Bogside part of Derry - political murals marking many key events in the city's history including Bloody Sunday.
A haunting reminder to the times not that long ago that the people of Northern Ireland suffered due to the Troubles. It is well worthwhile for any tourist to take a tour in these areas with a local and hear first hand the events that consumed everyday life in Northern Ireland.
Bogside is a neighborhood outside the city of walls of Derry in county Londonderry and this is where the different large-garble wall murals drawn by Bogside Artists, Free Derry Corner, and the Gasyard Feile (which is an annual music and arts festival held in a former gasyard). These different murals are considered a famous touristic attraction and that was the reason why we managed to visit this place and wander the streets looking for those art pieces.
Most of these different murals drawn on the walls of the streets are related to the period of The Troubles since this neighborhood has been the focal point of almost all the events of The Troubles. The Troubles was an ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland during the late 20th century which was also known as the Northern Ireland Conflict. This conflict was mainly political and nationalistic but sometimes it was fueled by some historical events along the way
With the effort exerted by Bogside Artists, there are now 12 large wall murals drawn on the street walls of this small neighborhood and which the last one of them was completed in 2008. With all these different drawings found on the walls, this place has been referred to as The People's Gallery and which include The Petrol Bomber, Bernadette, Bloody Sunday, Bloody Sunday Commemoration, Death of Innocence, Hunger Strike, Operation Motorman, The Saturday Matinee, Civil Rights, Peace Mural, The Runner, and A Tribute to John Hume. Every single one of these different murals is drawn for a reason and to tell a specific story about the history of Bogside when it comes to The Troubles time.
There are different drawings from these which might be related to the same incidence or event but which might be telling a different story; there was this one for example related to the Bloody Sunday incident of those 14 people killed during a civil rights demonstration, and there is also another one related to the same day but which is about the face or portraits of those different 14 people along with drawing a leaf around them; 14 leaves, each one to resemble one of those victims.
Walking through streets that carry these different pieces and murals of art will definitely let one wonder about those who have been behind such creativity and ideas. Bogside Artists is a trio of mural painters from Derry, Londonderry and who are Tom Kelly, William Kelly, and Kevin Hasson; they are those three painters who transformed the walls of Bogside to this beautiful scenery which we are exposed to and not just that, but they tend to deliver something of meaning, something related to the history of Derry.
Those murals drawn in the streets of Bogside neighborhood are the most famous work for Bogside Artists, and which is all about the sectarian violence and the civil rights protests during the time of The Troubles in Northern Ireland - and we have to say that we were more than excited while watching all these drawings and experiencing the art that these three artists managed to deliver.
If you already know about the history of the place and know what used to happen during the time of The Troubles then you could just head to Bogside and wander the streets there in Derry to experience those murals and know the stories they tend to deliver, but if you don't know much about this period of time then there are two different things to do: you will either have to read about this history in order to understand every single mural, or else walk the place with a guide or someone who knows about these things well enough.
The idea of street murals is always fascinating, you walk by one of them and you feel as if you have seen the most beautiful thing in the whole world. There are other murals in Northern Ireland which are also becoming famous such as the Peace Wall in Belfast ( the murals and artwork in the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast ( the Tall Ships mural in Belfast ( and also The Son of Protagoras Mural which is found in Belfast as well (
Walking by any of these different murals - or graffiti as they are referred to more - will also leave you stunned by the art you are seeing displayed on the street walls and that is exactly the same with Bogside in Derry.

Ballymoney has expanded in recent years and a lot of new houses have been built. This is primarily as a result of high house prices in the Coleraine/Portstewart/Portrush 'Triangle' areas shifting first-time buyers to the less expensive Ballymoney area. Ballymoney is located on the main road between Coleraine and Ballymena, with good road and rail connections to the main cities in Northern Ireland, Belfast and Derry.
The Ballymoney area has the highest life expectancy of any area in Northern Ireland, with the average male life expectancy at birth being 79.9 years and 84.8 years for females in years between 2010 and 2012. Conversely, it was revealed in 2013 that Ballymoney residents are more likely to die from heart disease than anywhere else in Northern Ireland. The town hosts the Ballymoney Drama Festival, the oldest drama festival in Ireland, which was founded in 1933. The town also hosts the Ballymoney Show, which is one of the oldest agricultural shows in Northern Ireland and was founded in 1902.
Ballymoney is one of the oldest towns in Ireland with many buildings of historic note in the town centre.
An old church tower dating from 1637 is the town's oldest surviving building.
Another striking feature is the town clock and Masonic hall, built in 1775 by the 6th Earl and 2nd Marquis of Antrim. The hall was used as a market house, courthouse, town hall and school.
The town hall was erected in 1866.
Ballymoney railway station opened on 4 December 1855, and was closed to goods traffic on 4 January 1965. The refurbished railway station was opened in May 1990. It was one terminus of the Ballycastle Railway, a narrow gauge railway which ran 17 miles connecting Ballycastle to Ballymoney, on the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway (BNCR), later Northern Counties Committee (NCC), main line to Derry, and closed in July 1950.
