286. ColeraineColeraine, on the wide River Bann, is a market and manufacturing town that has greatly increased in importance in recent years. The University of Ulster, on the northern outskirts, opened its doors in 1968. Though the town's ancient distillery has been merged with Bushmills, a small amount of this pale grain whiskey is still produced for local consumption. Mixed with four volumes of boiling water, cloves, cinnamon and a touch of sugar, it is recommended as a specific against winter's ills.

287. DerryDerry is the province's second largest city and has an important shirt-making trade which started in the 1820s. The city stands on a hill on the Foyle estuary and, for most of its history, has been an important seaport. The royal charter of 1613, which gave Derry a mayor and corporation and added London to its name, saw it as suitable as 'both a town of war and a town of merchandise'. The people of Derry are both soft-spoken and friendly people, they give the place an extra dimension that visitors will not encounter anywhere else in the province. The great seventeenth-century walls which encircle the historic centre are 20-25 feet high, 30ft wide in places and a mile round.A map is available: Click here Services in Derry Guest Houses | Bed & Breakfasts | Hotels | Car Rental | Vacation Packages |
