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.
Derry is proudly the only completely walled city in Ireland and the UK, and recently celebrated the 400th birthday of its legendary fortifications. Home to 1450 years of history including the Siege of Derry, the surrender of the Battle of the Atlantic and the Battle of the Bogside it also has strong musical, sporting, political, and cultural connections and is home to two Nobel Prize winners.
At it’s heart, Derry City and Strabane District is a place brimming with culture, optimism, and creativity. Known for the kindness, humour, and generous spirit of its people, it is a hopeful and welcoming place, emerging from the memories of a troubled past.
