Derry Historical and Political Walking Tour

I started as a guide just after graduating from University of Ulster, having achieved a B. A Honours Degree Irish History and Politics. I enjoy explaining the history of Ireland and Derry to my guests.

That's the reason why this historical and political tour will incorporate Derry's Walls, the Bogside murals and Bloody Sunday. Our historical tour begins with St. Colmcille, the Nine Years War, the Plantation of Ulster, the Siege of Derry, the 1798 Rebellion and The Great Hunger and emigration.

The second half of the tour will take you into the heart of the Bogside district of Derry, the crucible of the modern day conflict in Ireland. This will begin at Free Derry Wall and take you round the Bogside murals and the site of the massacre of Bloody Sunday. My father was the 12th victim of Bloody Sunday, having been shot in the back and died moments later.

We'll finish at the Bloody Sunday monument in view of the Derry Walls, looking at the key periods leading up to and during the 'Troubles'.

Highlights of Derry - Half Day Walking Tour

Derry is Northern Ireland's second city, with the broad River Foyle running through it. Humans probably fished the river for thousands of years, but the city is strongly linked with St Columba, who founded a monastery there in the 6th Century.

Derry is from the Irish DOIRE, meaning an Oak grove. It has a rich but turbulent history right up to the last century. On this tour, history is visible all around you but I will want to talk about life in Derry in the present day. The city centre is compact and suitable for a leisurely walk taking in the sights.

You will certainly want to walk the 18th Century walls and visit St Columb's Cathedral. Visit the Bogside and hear about its violent past with evidence in memorials and murals.

I am an outdoors person and I enjoy walking, whatever the weather! I have been guiding for many years and I concentrate in the area where I live so I can tell you every secret of the second city of Northern Ireland, a few miles from the border with the Republic.
