The 10 Best Traveler Resources in Derry, Northern Ireland

April 24, 2022 Alida England

Derry (/ˈdɛri/), officially Londonderry (/ˈlʌndənˌdɛri/), is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: Doire) meaning "oak grove". In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the "London" prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.

The Visitor Information Center is staffed by helpful and friendly people. In particular, the Center is the starting point for the fascinating Martin McCrossan Walking Tour of the Walled City, a history-oriented tour that I highly recommend.

Went to this years pantomime of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Went with my little one of 4. It was the afternoon show starting 2pm and finished just before 5pm. The time flew by and my little one was entertained and enthralled throughout. What a great show they put on. The jokes and references throughout were great for the parents in the audience.
