City Walks

Two great cities with outstanding city Local Walks.

Historic Walls of Derry - The only completely walled city in Ireland! A walk around Derry's walls reveals a city crammed with history and a vibrant cultural scene. The walls were built between 1613 -1618 as defences for settlers from England and Scotland. Walk the 1.5 mile route in under an hour, marvelling at how well preserved the walls are, even down to the cannons, stopping to visit landmarks along the way. As a walkway circling the inner city, it's ideal for viewing the Renaissance streetplan within and savouring the vista across the River Foyle and beyond to Donegal.
