Ireland’s most northerly point and breathed
in the fresh clean air, we felt like we
were on top of the World!

Ashbrook has been family home of the Ash family since before 1595 - The Honourable The Irish Society
records the Ash family as 1 of only 4 ‘native land owners’ prior to the Plantation. It is set in 30 acres
of mature parkland on the outskirts of the city of Londonderry, the Maiden City, made famous by the
Ulster Plantations and the Siege of Derry. The Ash family is the only family who have lived in the same
house continuously. This is certainly unique in the North West.

These unique wall murals are located throughout the city and are
symbolic of the different communities depictions of life through ’The
Troubles‘: Three local artists Tom Kelly, William Kelly and Kevin Hasson
(known as the Bogside Artists) have created to critical acclaim throughout
the world The People’s Gallery in the Bogside area of Derry. It is a series
of large-scale murals depicting the key events in Northern Ireland since
‘The Troubles’. The famous wall-paintings are located on Rossville St and
they present a window into the politics, people and history of Northern
Ireland. The majority of the Bogside Murals reflect events that occurred
in the Bogside in the past and one mural – The Peace Mural looks to the
future with the idealist image of a dove. The Fountain Estate close to the
City Walls is home to one of the oldest King Billy murals with many murals
linked to the famous Siege of Derry in 1689. The Bond St area also offers
an extensive range of wall murals which are popular with visitors. If you
are interested in seeing more murals you will find many others throughout
community areas in the city.
