City Walls

Walk along the top of the walls, admire fine buildings, interesting murals and sculptures...

The famous 17th-century walls have withstood several sieges.

There are 4 original gates (Bishop's Gate, Ferryquay Gate, Shipquay Gate and Butcher's Gate) and bastions. Three new gates (Magazine, Castle and New Gate) have been added.

There are canons throughout the Walls, particularly above Shipquay Gate. These were donated by the Guilds of London in 1649.

Directions: the west bank of the River Foyle
