Derry City Walls where the last walls to be built in Europe, finished in 1619 and are the only full 'set' of walls left standing in the British isles. As you can imagine 400 years on and a story or two could be told. The most famous of these is 'the siege of Derry' in 1689. A guided tour is highly recommended as there is a lot of interesting history to be learnt Tele: 4428 71377577 for more information. Downhill Castle

ReviewsWhere was all the so called trouble i recently travelled to county derry/londonderry depending on what your religious beliefs are, i came over from england to be with my girlfriend who has lived in the creggan estate all of her life. now me being the usual pigheaded englishmen that i am expected to be shot by the time i got off the plane, forever is english news banging on about the i.r.a and how the province is still in turmoil, from what i could see and believe me i saw alot of derry is the most beautiful place i have ever visited the views, people and experience were perfect i will advise anyone who is just THINKING whether they should visit derry or not to get the next flight over, there is soo much to see and do the locals are so pleasent the scenes are stunning and nightlife is something else. finally a message to the people of derry enjoy and look after where you live because there are a lot worse places to be like london for example!!!!!!!!
