Places to see in ( Derry - UK )
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Derry 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 Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: 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, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The district administered by Derry City and Strabane District Council contains both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border with County Donegal, with which it has had a close link for many centuries. The person traditionally seen as the founder of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille, a holy man from Tír Chonaill, the old name for almost all of modern County Donegal, of which the west bank of the Foyle was a part before 1610. In 2013, Derry was the inaugural UK City of Culture, having been awarded the title in 2010.

해안선을 달리다 멀리서 발견한 바닷가 절벽을 무작정 찾아 나선 나에게 구세주가 나타났다. 즉석 길동무의 안내로 비탈길을 따라 걷기를 1시간 여. 길 가의 모든 풍경들이 아름다운 수채화로 눈을 즐겁게 한다. “암벽등반가 이곳에서 가장 아름다운 풍광은 저쪽으로 가면 있어요.” 암벽등반가의 자신 있는 안내는 역시 정확했다. 잠시 내 숨이 멎는다. “멀리 수평선 보이죠? 저 너머가 바로 스코틀랜드예요.” “2분만 더 가면 정말 끝내주는 곳이 있어요. 이번엔 약속해요.” 나를 안내하는 알피가 마치 신이 난 아이 같아 보인다. 깎아지른 두 절벽을 연결하는 돌다리! 돌다리도 두들겨 보고 건너라고 했던가! 한참을 망설인 끝에 결국은 나도 따라 건넌다. 이제는 돌아 올 차례! 한 쪽 절벽에서는 산 사나이들의 암벽 등반이 한창이다. “암벽 등반을 하면서 가장 짜릿한 점은 무엇인가요?” “모든 움직임 자체가 즐거움이죠. 정말 도전할만합니다. 오로지 한 가지에만 집중하게 되니까, 다른 생각을 할 수가 없어요. 세상의 모든 근심과 걱정들이 다 사라지죠. 제 인생에서 가장 편안한 시간이 바로 암벽등반을 할 때입니다.” 자연과 하나 된, 이들의 호탕한 웃음에 나도 덩달아 기분이 좋아진다.

'Boys Day Out 7,' Inside St Columb's Cathedral 1633
Us three old Belfast boys are on a Belfast train day trip, free bus/rail pass, day to the Maiden City of Derry/Londonderry. Here we look down from our Derrys Walls walk to the recently restored historic St Columb's Church of Ireland Cathedral. We decide to do the self guided tour ( kept right by parishioner Billy ) of this fanatstic building. We were not disappointed. I have to say that this has been the most interesting so far of all the churches anywhere that i have visited and videoed. It has history, including much Seige related history, people, artifacts, architecture and local stories/folklore stretching right back to the 1600s. In all that time it has been a living vibrant place of worship and it still is at the heart of the community here. This open cathedral has to be a must see for anyone interested in history coming to Derry/Londonderry.
St Columb's Cathedral
Standing on a prominent site within Derry's famous walls St columb's is the City of Londonderry's oldest building. It was completed and opened in 1633. Construction work began in 1628 and the stone which records completion is to be seen in the porch of the Cathedral: The Cathedral was built of stone from local quarries and skilled stone cutters and masons had to be procured. The old pillars and arches bear testimony to sound judgement and first-rate craftsmanship.
St Columb's is the first Cathedral in the British 'Isles to have been built after the Reformation and is a fine example of 'Planter's Gothic'. There was practically no change in the appearance of the building from 1633 to 1776 when the Bishop of Derry (the 4th Earl of Bristol) added 21 feet to the tower, and placed above this a very tall and graceful stone spire, making a total height of 221 feet, but about 20 years afterwards, his addition to the tower showed signs of giving way and the whole was taken down and rebuilt, the tower being completed in 1802 and the spire being added about 20 years later. The nave however remained exactly as it was until 1825 when the South Porch was removed. In 1827 the eastern turrets were either rebuilt or else surmounted by domes; before this they appear with battlements. In 1861/2 the interior of the Cathedral was entirely re-modelled, the old square pews were removed, and all the present oak work of the nave was provided, and the galleries in the aisles taken away. Many other improvements were made in the ornaments and furnishings of the building. The addition of the chancel in 1887 completed the Cathedral on the plan of its founders - the foundations had actually been laid in 1633 and were discovered during building operations.
Further
St Columb's Cathedral is the mother church of the Church of Ireland Diocese of Derry and Raphoe and the parish church of Templemore.
It is dedicated to Saint Columba, the Irish monk who established a Christian settlement in the area before being exiled from Ireland and introducing Christianity to Scotland and northern England.
he present structure, located close to the original, was completed in 1633 by William Parrot, in the Planter's Gothic style. Also in the porch is an inscription:
If stones could speake
then London's prayse
should sound who
built this church and
cittie from the grounde.
St. Columb's has in its possession many documents dating back from the Siege of Derry. They have portraits of William of Orange and the original keys of the city.
The Cathedral also contains a memorial to Valentine Munbee McMaster VC.
St Columb's is the first cathedral to be built by the Anglican church after the Reformation in the British Isles and the first non-RC cathedral to be built in Europe.

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
