Made famous for a multitude of reasons, why not get the ball rolling with what’s really put us on the map, the all-important selfie with the Derry Girls mural before tackling one of the city’s most revered historical landmarks, the Derry Walls which encompass the ‘old town’ and date back to the 17th century.
