Brilliant morning doing paddle boarding with my 2 grown up kids at the Edge. Had called the day before to arrange and everything was waiting for us on arrival. Never done it before but with a few helpful tips from Jack we were soon on our feet and paddling about on the beautiful river Bann. The boards were immaculate and we were well kitted out in wet suits and life jackets. All the staff were super friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. They even let us stay out a bit beyond our time . It couldn't have gone better. So glad we picked here for our first paddle board experience rather than the sea. During our paddle we even attracted the interest of a seal who swam along side us for 10 mins. A magical experience all round. Best place on the North Coast to enjoy paddle boarding by far 10/10 .

An excellent introduction to the life and work of Seamus Heaney. Really interesting exhibition, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and great local refreshments available in the coffee shop. All social distancing measures in place including one way system and lots of sanitiser but does not take away from the experience at all.

The oldest building in Derry it has much history. It was from this church that Alexander's Hymns emanates. Mrs Alexander was wife of a minister here and started writing children's songs and eventually hymns which have become part of Protestant Church hymnody for over a century. The building is grand with a historic section where photos are not allowed

A museum explaining the political conflict that has shaped the city and the country: a must for those unfamiliar with Northern Ireland's war-torn past.

The museum is very interesting and outstandingly good value. Take time to watch he 15 min film at the end as it bought everything together and was very informative. The free exhibition at the start is good too.

Spotted this church on our walk around the city walls. Beautiful from the outside. Plaque outside giving a bit of details of the church. We weren't inside so cannot comment on that.
