Overview

The Derry Walls Walking Tour will take you through the oldest history of Derry and the surrounding area. 

Derry is one of the longest, continued used area in Ireland dating back some six thousand years. St Colmcille set his monastery on the island of Doire in 546 before going to Iona in the western isles of Scotland bringing Christianity to Britain. 

Other areas examined on this tour are Elizabeth I advance into Ulster bringing Anglicization and the Protestant religion. The Irish response to this invasion was the Nine Years War 1594-1603 and ending with the Flight of the Earls in 1607. 

The Plantation of Ulster brought thousands of English and Scots Protestants to Ulster and the building of the City Walls from 1613. 

Derry became Londonderry under James I and was financed by the Guilds of London where the Guildhall gets its name.
