   The Derry Walls

   The Derry Walls, built between 1613 and 1618, are the only fully intact city walls in Ireland and among the finest examples in Europe. Stretching approximately 1.5 km around the historic city centre of Londonderry, these formidable ramparts were constructed to defend early English and Scottish settlers during the Plantation of Ulster. Visitors can walk the ramparts, explore original and later gates, and view a remarkable collection of restored cannons, including the famous 'Roaring Meg'.
