Our vibrant city of Derry~Londonderry sits on the banks of the River Foyle in the North West of Ireland. Close to Strabane, a large rural area dominated by the heather-covered Sperrin Mountains, we are a gateway to the famous Irish coastal routes of the Wild Atlantic Way and the Causeway Coast. 

Proudly, Derry is the only completely walled city in Ireland and the UK and stands at 400 years old. Home to 1450 years of history including the Siege of Derry and the Battle of the Bogside it also has strong musical, sporting, political, and cultural connections being home to two Nobel Prize winners. 

Visit Derry~Londonderry and take a stroll across the Peace Bridge which curves over the River Foyle and leads to Ebrington Square and the emerging Waterside neighbourhood. Known for its warm and welcoming hospitality, a visit to Derry’s lively pubs for a Guinness, live music, and plenty of craic is a must. 

Take some time to travel to the Sperrin Mountain range in Strabane. One of Ireland’s largest mountain ranges but one of the least explored on the island. It is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and hugely appealing to hikers. 

At it’s heart, the Derry City and Strabane District is one of culture, optimism, and creativity. Known for the kindness, humour, and generous spirit of it’s people, it is a hopeful and embracing place emerging from the memories of a troubled past. We look forward to welcoming you to Derry~Londonderry.
