City Wide Bus Tour

 

 

 



Derry – Londonderry has made history after winning its bid to be the first ever UK City of Culture in 2013.

Derry – Londonderry is a city which has been one of the longest inhabited places in Ireland. The earliest historical references date to the sixth century when a monastery was founded here by the great Irish Saint Columba/Columcille in 546 AD. The name Derry changed to Londonderry during the Plantation of Ulster, as the new city was built by the Guilds of London (1613 – 1618).

After the building of the City Walls in the early part of the seventeenth century other key periods in the city’s history have included the Seige of Derry, Emigration, Famine in Ireland, Shirt Industry, World Wars I & II, Easter Rising, Civil Rights Marches, Bloody Sunday, Ceasefires and the Good Friday Agreeement, all of which have contributed in some part over the centuries to having shaped today’s modern yet historic, friendly and forward-looking city.
