Derry-Londonderry is Northern Ireland’s second city — a magnificently walled city on the River Foyle, with the best-preserved city walls in Ireland encircling the historic centre. Beyond the walls, the dramatic basalt plateau of Binevenagh rises to the north, and the Inishowen Peninsula of Donegal is just across the border to the west.

A magnificent, culturally rich city with outstanding architecture, excellent restaurants and a compelling recent history, Derry makes a superb walking base for the north-west of Ireland — with Binevenagh, the Causeway Coast and the Sperrins all within easy reach.
