Walls of Derry/Londonderry
Permalink  

My Frommers books said a person can walk the walls of the city in half an hour. It said the walls were about a mile around and 18 feet thick. I was wondering how high the walls are?  Depending on how much time we have at the city I may walk some of the wall.   I would like to at least get a picture of me on the walls!

When we are in Derry this is what we will be doing:  guided walking tour around central Derry, which will include the Guildhall, St. Columbs Cathedral, the Diamond and 16th century city walls. Spend some time in the Tower Museum with its local history exhibits. After a look around on your own, return to your lovely hotel in Limavady so that you may relax or use the sport and spa facilities before dinner in Greens Restaurant.

Jessica,

The walls are around 26 feet high. I think you might enjoy looking at the following link: http://www.brilliantireland.com/products/inc_productdetails.cfm/product_key/46

It sounds like a fun day!

Michele

thanks michele for the info and the link as well!!! I pictured the wall differently than what it is in that picture in the link you provided.

And that day starts at the Giants Causeway!! Which I am excited about seeing. So this day is looking really enjoyable.

Jessica, I am really interested in your trip report. We are including NI this time for the first time (except for Belleek). We're doing a Derry Walls tour, so will be waiting to hear your take on it.

Have a great time!
