The flavour of the Turkish Delight Creme Brulee will stay with me forever.Ī great way to get your bearings is to walk the Walled city with Martin McCrossan Tours. The Brickwork restaurant another great destination with delicious food and youthful vibrant atmosphere within the walls of the city. Walled City Brewery is a must visit and while I was there a series of summer concerts were set up. The Passionfruit beer is only one of a long list of fabulous tasting beers to savour. Where once the British Army Troops were based in now Ireland’s only Brewery restuaurant supplying wonderful food and its own beers. The Peace bridge is a symbol of hope and unity for the future and since its completion in 2011 has done much to link the two sides of the city. Prates, Dancers and sailors lined the ships against a backdrop of fireworks.
WHATSON NI FULL
The Foyle Maritime Festival was in full swing with spectacular stories told on the water during the parade of light. It was my first time in the Walled City and still referred to as the Maiden city because its walls have never been breached – not because of it’s history as a shirt making capital with one man to every three women in the city during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Last weekend I decided to see what it would be like to be a Derry Girl and took my friend and our daughters north of the border.

Only a couple of hours up the road from Dublin, Northern Ireland is the perfect destination to enjoy a last minute break this summer. The Voyages finale with the parade of light and fireworks display.
