The Peace Bridge crosses the river Foyle in the town of Derry. It is accessible for cyclists and pedestrians only. The bridge holds significance as a symbol of peace in this area with a troublesome history. For long-distance cyclists, it is famous as the location of the first checkpoint during the annual TransAtlanticWay bike race.

Derry City Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

The wall is almost two kilometers long and six meters high, a sizeable stone structure that was once supposed to protect the city from attack. With success, because despite the long-lasting sieges, the opposing armed forces never succeeded in taking the place for themselves.
