10 Best Towns to Live in Northern Ireland
You know this channel is never biased in the coverage of cities, towns, and villages in the United Kingdom. Consistent with that, we shift our attention to Northern Ireland in this video. This time we want to talk about the 10 best towns to live in Northern Ireland. Before we begin, we have to be quick in saying that towns in this region of the UK are generally cooler than those you would find near London, Manchester, Edinburgh, or Glasgow. However, it would be unfair to believe that they are less sophisticated. After all, towns in Northern Ireland are expected to be influenced by the cities nearby. We now invite you to pay more than usual attention to this video.
10. Portstewart
We feel so good beginning this in Portstewart. This is a small town in County Londonderry with a population of 8,003. It is a seaside resort beside Portrush. Portstewart has a good-looking harbor and scenic coastal paths that form an Atlantic promenade that leads to a two-mile beach popular with holidaymakers all year round, not just during summer. Victorian middle-class families are in love with this town as a holiday destination. It has a long, crescent-shaped seafront promenade that is sheltered by rocky headlands. Portstewart is a reasonably prosperous town. You can thus live there and make good fortunes. Most of it is contained in the Strand electoral ward which is counted as one of the most affluent areas in the region.
9. Castlewellan
Castlewellan is a small town in County Down. The town in the southeast of Northern Ireland is close to the Irish Sea and beside Castlewellan Lake and Slievenaslat Mountain. It is also 11 miles southwest of Downpatrick. The town was originally designed for the Annesley Family by a French architect. As one of the 10 best towns to live in Northern Ireland, it has a wide main street running through two main squares lined with chestnut trees. One of the beautiful features of this town is Drumena Cashel, a small stone-built farmstead enclosure situated two miles southwest of Castlewellan, off the A25 road to Rathfriland. Castlewellan Forest Park and Castlewellan Lake also deserve to be mentioned in this town. Though the Castlewellan Castle is not generally open to everyone, the sight of this Scottish baronial beautiful and tranquil castle of 1856 is enough to add flavor to each day of life in the town.
8. Larne
Larne is a town with a population of 18,755 on the east coast of County Antrim. This town is a major passenger and freight roll-on roll-off port administered by Mid- and East Antrim Borough Council. It is also a civil parish in the historic barony of Glenarm Upper. Larne rose from the lowest spot during the course of The Troubles to become one of the best places to live. The significant paramilitary presence in the town has ensured the safety of residents. The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Ulster Defense Association (UDA) are helping to ensure that it sustains the peace for which it is presently known.
7. Newtownards
Also in County Down is Newtownards, a town lying at the most northern tip of Strangford Lough. Located on the Ards Peninsula, it’s just 10 miles east of Belfast in the civil parish of Newtownards. The town with a population of 28,050 is beautified by the 100-foot Scarbo Tower overlooking it and built as a memorial to Charles Stewart, the third Marquess of Londonderry in 1857. It also has Movilla Abbey, Somme Heritage Center toward the north which is a unique attraction of international significance telling the historical reality of the Great War including its effects on the community at home.

Places to see in ( Derry - UK )
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Derry is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: Doire) meaning oak grove. In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The district administered by Derry City and Strabane District Council contains both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border with County Donegal, with which it has had a close link for many centuries. The person traditionally seen as the founder of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille, a holy man from Tír Chonaill, the old name for almost all of modern County Donegal, of which the west bank of the Foyle was a part before 1610. In 2013, Derry was the inaugural UK City of Culture, having been awarded the title in 2010.

8 Worst Towns to Live in Northern Ireland
Let us put it in the right context before we take it so far. The expression “worst towns” here is going to be subjective and relative. This is because Northern Ireland is a generally good place to live. Regardless of how good a region is, however, some parts of it will be better than others. On the other hand, those parts of the region that are not regarded as the best are in that context not so good. And if all of the parts of a region are just good, the “least good” among them is invariably the worst. It is in that sense that we now want to show you the 8 worst towns to live in Northern Ireland.
8. Ballymena
Let’s begin with Ballymena, a large town in County Antrim. The town with a population of more than 29,000 is the 8th-largest town in the region by population. But it’s also one of the worst towns to live in Northern Ireland. Gone are those days when the town was prosperous and when a lot of factories were providing job opportunities.
The town has now suffered from a gripping recession that not only deterred investment in manufacturing but also stressed out existing shopping centers. Though some attempts have been made to rejuvenate the town economically, the unemployment rate is still very high. The shopping centers are no longer bustling as they used to be due to badly reduced purchasing power and low demands in the town. Besides, there are several rough areas such as Harryville in the town. Generally, the town that hosts 7 towers lacks prosperity, though it’s one of the safest places to live for people with legitimate business dealings.
7. Lurgan
Lurgan is another large town on this list. It is in County Armagh near the southern shore of Lough Neagh. The town is located about 18 miles southwest of Belfast having been linked together by the M1 motorway. Additionally, the Belfast-Dublin railway line serves this town with a population of 28,634 within the Armagh, Banbridge, and Craigavon districts.
Even then, it is one of the worst towns. It is divided along the religious line, no thanks to the housing anomaly. This is especially apparent in its worst part. Many of the people born in the town would prefer not to live there if they are not landlords. Houses there are usually up for buying to own not to rent. That is why it’s not a good place to live in Northern Ireland for foreigners. You will get rental areas only on Ardboe Drive and Trasna Way. But in Pollock Drive and Grey Estate, you’re in for a completely different experience.
6. Strabane
We’re now in County Tyrone to find the town named Strabane. Lying on the east bank of the Foyle River, it had a population of 13,172. It is located roughly midway from Omagh, Derry, and Letterkenny. Strabane is also on this list of the 8 worst towns to live in Northern Ireland.
Strabane has remained stuck to that unpopular tag not only in NI but also in the UK as a whole. For instance, out of 317 local authority areas in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, it is the 8th worst to live, according to the research carried out by Channel 4. The research measured 5 criteria homebuyers always consider namely crime, education, employment, environment, and lifestyle. The town performed woefully in all of them. It has been ranking badly for livability for years on end.

Places to see in ( Omagh - UK )
Places to see in ( Omagh - UK )
Omagh is the county town of County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Omagh is situated where the rivers Drumragh and Camowen meet to form the Strule. Northern Ireland's capital city Belfast is 68 miles to the east of Omagh, and Derry is 34 miles to the north.
Omagh contains the headquarters of the Western Education and Library Board, and also houses offices for the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development at Sperrin House, the Department for Regional Development and the Northern Ireland Roads Service at the Tyrone County Hall and the Northern Ireland Land & Property Services at Boaz House. The town is twinned with L'Haÿ-les-Roses, a town in the suburbs of Paris, France.
The town sprang up within the townland of Omagh, in the parish of Drumragh. Over time, the urban area has spread into the surrounding townlands. The Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh includes the cottage where Thomas Mellon was born in 1813, before emigrating to Pennsylvania, in the United States when he was five. His son Andrew W. Mellon became secretary of the US Treasury. The park is an open-air museum that explores the journey made by the Irish (specifically those from Ulster) to America during the 1800s.
The Gortin Glens Forest Park, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of Omagh is a large forest with many attractions, including a deer enclosure and many areas of natural beauty, including waterfalls, lakes, etc. Strule Arts Centre opened in 2007 is good example of urban renewal in Omagh town centre. Creating a modern civic building, in a newly created public space reclaimed from the formerly disused area, between the River Strule and High Street.
Omagh boasts over 20 playgrounds for children, and a large amount of green open area for all the public. The largest of these is the Grange Park, located near the town centre. Many areas around the meanders of the River Strule have also been developed into open areas. Omagh Leisure Complex is a large public amenity, near the Grange Park and is set in 11 hectares (27 acres) of landscaped grounds and features a leisure centre, boating pond, astroturf pitch and cycle paths.
Neither the town nor the district of Omagh has any railway service. Bus Services in Omagh are operated by Ulsterbus. Omagh is the main retail centre for Tyrone, as well as the West of Ulster (behind Derry and Letterkenny), due to its central location. In the period 2000–2003, over £80 million was invested in Omagh, and 60,960 m2 (656,200 sq ft) of new retail space was created. Shopping areas in Omagh include the Main Street Mall, Great Northern Road Retail Park and the Showgrounds Retail Park on Sedan Avenue in the town centre. Market Street/High Street is also a prominent shopping street, which includes popular high street stores such as DV8 and Primark.

Derry Londonderry-An Amazing View of the Maiden City-Everyone should visit Derry and walk the walls.
Check out Derry now in this short video, see what Derry daily life is like. Derry is the 2nd city of Northern Ireland, it is situated in the UK, but on the Island of Ireland. It is often called the Maiden City or the Walled City in Northern Ireland.
Sometimes it is referred to as Derry and in other cases it is called Londonderry and this has been the subject of a name dispute between Irish nationalists and unionists; nationalists are the ones to call it Derry while unionists are those who refer to it as Londonderry. When it comes to the legal side, it is known as Londonderry.
It is not about the name of the city but it is about the things to do there and the places to visit in it. Our journey in this beautiful city started with Londonderry Courthouse which is one of the old buildings that are found in the city and which you will at some point pass by.
Austins was the second place to pass by in Derry/Londonderry. Austins is the world's oldest independent department store that was established back in 1830 by Thomas Austin and it has been working since that time until today. It is not just for the sake of shopping, but this old building is another reason why one will come to it and know more about the history of its foundation.
Among the other touristic attractions of this city in Northern Ireland, we came to the Bishop's Gate which was built at the suggestion of Bishop Hervey in 1789 to celebrate the centenary of the siege. Bishop's Gate will take you to Bishop's street and there you could have a stroll down doing nothing specific (
Among the list of places which we visited in Londonderry, we have been to The Craft Village. The Craft Village is the reconstruction of an 18th century street and 19th century square that provide an eclectic mix of artisan craft shops, balconied apartments and different restaurants and coffee shops which one could sit it and enjoy their time. We have walked across this village and loved every detail related to it and we would suggest it for those who will be visiting Derry anytime soon and there you will also find souvenir gifts to take back home to your friends and family.
Moving forward with our trip, we visited the Guildhall and Square which is another touristic attraction for people to visit while being in Derry. The Guildhall in Derry is an old building that is standing there from 1890 and it is the building in which the elected members of Derry and Strabane District Council meet. The old 17th century Guildhall was first located in the Diamond area of the Walled City but this building was then destroyed by fire and the new building was assigned to be built in a city square. In addition to the social and political meetings which are held in the Guildhall, this is also the place where the Feis Doire Colmcille - an event which celebrates Irish culture - is held. Guildhall Square which is just in front of the building is the main city square in Derry - Londonderry and is also the place where different important and beneficial events are usually held (
One of the other things that people tend to check while they are in Derry/Londonderry is the Peace Bridge. Peace Bridge was opened back in 2011 by Johannes Hahn and it is both a cycle and foot bridge that crosses over River Foyle. The aim of the bridge was to connect Ebrington Square to the rest of the city centre, and that what happened eventually with this bridge that is one of the newest three to be found in Derry (
The last stop in this video around the city of Derry in Northern Ireland is Shipquay Gate which is one of the original four city gates dating back from 1805. It is interesting to come across those different old gates which stand from the history until today but which will bring you to the modern world that you are living in - they give the city a different kind of atmosphere.
These are the places we passed by in Derry/Londonderry, but if you are searching for something more then you could check the rest of the gates found there and you could also consider visiting St. Columb's Park which is one of the most famous to be found in Derry/ Londonderry (
Back in 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds and from that time the legal name has been Londonderry although some people refer to it as Derry.
Derry tourism is growing in recent years - and there is plenty now to do in Derry on a night out. The city itself is a great walk with many historic points especially the walls that surround the city. Doire as it is called in Gaelic - is well worth a visit by any tourist

Лондонде́рри, также Де́рри (англ. Londonderry, Derry; ирл. Doire, или Doire Cholm Chille) — город в северо-западной части Ольстера (Северной Ирландии), административный центр одноимённого графства, крупный экономический центр и морской порт. Второй по населению город в Северной Ирландии после Белфаста и 4-й по населению на всём острове Ирландия.
Город лежит в характерной холмистой местности. Он расположен у устья реки Фойл, которая впадает в Лох-Фойл, являющийся, по существу, её эстуарием. Река протекает через город в глубокой долине, старый укреплённый город лежит на холме на левом берегу. Раньше река разделялась на рукава, обтекающие холм со всех сторон, но со временем западный рукав пересох, оставив на своём месте болотистую низменность, известную как Богсайд.
Современный Дерри раскинулся по обоим берегам Фойла, часть вокруг старого города известна как Ситисайд, а на противоположном берегу — как Вотерсайд. Две части соединены двумя автомобильными мостами и одним пешеходным («Мост мира»). Единственная часть города, не расположенная на крутых холмах, лежит на северо-востоке, на берегах Лох-Фойл, в основном на отвоёванных у моря землях. Сегодня там расположен один из важнейших птичьих заказников в Великобритании.
Другие важные природоохранные зоны расположены в Парке Несс, 10 миль (16 км) к востоку от города; и в Прехен-Вуд в юго-восточном пригороде.

Ugliest Cities in the UK – Londonderry
Today, we shall continue our exploration of the ugliest cities in the UK. And this takes us nowhere else but Londonderry. No, we’re not doing a rundown of the county. We’re only focusing on a city there. Many people say Londonderry is ugly. We wanted to see how true their assertions are. Our diligent fact-checking of all that’s in the public domain about this county shows that Derry has features that bring it close to the rank of the ugliest city in the UK. We’re going to share our findings with you in this video for your consideration and observation. As you enjoy it, please don’t forget to tell us what you feel about Derry in the comment section.
The County Londonderry
County Londonderry is one of the 6 counties of Northern Ireland, the 9 counties of Ulster, and one of the 32 in the entire Ireland. It was one of the counties in the Kingdom of Ireland from 1613 onward before the partition of Ireland and after the portioning of the United Kingdom following the Acts of Union 1800. This county near the northwest shore of Lough Neagh occupies an area of 818 square miles. It has a population of about 247,132.
Londonderry just like the other counties in Northern Ireland has since 1972 ceased being used by the state in the local government administration. And after further reforms that took place in 2015, Londonderry came to be governed by three districts Derry and Strabane, Causeway Coast and Glens, and Mid-Ulster. Though no longer used for local government and administration, Londonderry is sometimes used in a cultural context such as in All-Ireland sporting and cultural events like Derry GAA. The County Londonderry flower is the purple saxifrage.
About the City of Derry
One of the cities in this county is Derry. Also known officially as Londonderry, it’s the second-largest city in Northern Ireland, the 5th-largest city on the island of Ireland, and the largest in the county. Derry is on the west bank of the River Foyle, spanned by one footbridge and two road bridges. Today, the city covers both banks. It has a population of about 100,000 (83,652) while the Derry Urban Area has a population of 110,000 (90,736) and it’s under the administration of Derry City and Strabane District Council which has both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border of the neighboring County Donegal which has had a close link with County Londonderry for many centuries. The person traditionally credited with the founding of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille from Tír Chonaill. The city was in 2013 the inaugural UK City of Culture, the title it was awarded in 2010. There is some controversy in the naming of this city. So don’t get confused when you hear it being referred to as Londonderry. While unionists generally prefer to call it “Londonderry,” nationalists love its name as “Derry.”
Unfortunately, It’s Rated Ugly
With this in mind, let’s now get to the business of the day and see why many people are of the opinion that Londonderry is ugly. Derry was rated in a late 2022 study as the ugliest place to live in the UK. The study was carried out by Atlas Ceramics which analyzed several factors. Paramount among those factors are the number of boutique hotels, buildings and monuments listed, and interior designers and architecture in each UK destination. Of course, all of these are what combine to beautify a city.
While giving an insight into the raking of the city, the judges explained that Derry lands itself the unfortunate title because its building and streets lack the glamor attracting tourists. This Northern Irish city is the least aesthetic of all cities of its size and population in the UK. In the index used by the judges, it scored 1.79/10, no thanks to its interior designers that are lowest on the list. And these play a crucial role in creating and curating aesthetics for a city. When it gets to architects and listed buildings and monuments, it finds a place in the bottom three.

Places to see in ( Strabane - UK )
Places to see in ( Strabane - UK )
Strabane, historically spelt Straban, is a town in West Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It was the headquarters of the former Strabane District Council. Strabane has a population of around 18,000, which is predominantly nationalist.
It is the second-largest town in Tyrone, after Omagh. It lies on the east bank of the River Foyle and is roughly equidistant from Omagh, Derry City and Letterkenny. The River Foyle marks the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. On the other side of the river (across Lifford Bridge) is the smaller town of Lifford, which is the county town of County Donegal. The Mourne flows through the centre of the town, and meets the Finn to form the Foyle River.
In the 20th century, Strabane garnered the dubious distinction of the highest unemployment rate in the Industrial World, during the height of The Troubles. It is one of the most economically deprived towns in the United Kingdom. Huge economic damage occurred in 1987 when much of the town centre flooded.
The Irish gauge 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway (L&ER) reached Strabane in 1847, The Finn Valley Railway (FV) opened from Strabane to Stranorlar in 1863.[10][12] The FV was originally Irish gauge but in 1892 it merged with the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge West Donegal Railway (WD) to form the Donegal Railway.
In 1792, the 4 miles (6.4 km) Strabane Canal was built from the tidal waters of Lough Foyle at Leck, to Strabane. It fell into disuse in 1962. In June 2006 the Strabane Lifford Development Commission awarded a £1.3m cross-border waterways restoration contract. The project was launched by President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, in Lifford and involves the restoration of 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of canal and two locks to working order.

What’s in LondonDerry | ROAD TRIP UK and IRELAND
#londonderry #galway #FORTYFOURnorth
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Generally, although not always, nationalists favour using the name Derry, and unionists Londonderry. Legally, the city and county are called Londonderry, while the local government district containing the city is called Derry City and Strabane.
We stayed at 44 Northland Rd, Londonderry BT48 7ND, United Kingdom. A very handy place! Near to anything you would need. :)
Cheers for watching guys! :)

Christmas in Derry - Top Attractions in Derry/Londonderry
Merry Christmas!
Derry - or as it is also famously known as Londonderry - is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland, that is known for the intact 17th century Derry's walls with its seven gates. There are different touristic attractions in Derry/Londondery in general, such as St. Columb's Cathedral, Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum, and more (
During the Christmas time, every other city will be a piece of art with its decorations, places to visit, and the things to be done, and we are taking you through the tour we have made during this time of the year in Derry/Londonderry and the places we have managed to visit.
Our first stop was the Guildhall, which is the building in which the elected members of Derry and Strabane District Council meet. This building was built back in 1890 and it is a place that one should pass by and see while being in Derry. The Guildhall is located in the center of the city, just outside the city walls and close to the Peace Bridge (
Since the Guildhall is located just next to Peace Bridge then it is a must for you to pass by it. Peace Bridge in Derry/Londonderry is a cycle and foot bridge across the River Foyle in Derry, Northern Ireland, that opened in 2011, connecting Ebrington Square with the rest of the city centre. Peace Bridge is the newest one to be built in the city of Derry/Londonderry (
Every single place is different during Christmas time, the whole country turns into a glittery place. We have walked through the streets of Derry/Londonderry to see and feel how Christmas feels like in this city, we have gone to markets, played some games, got into some cafes, and managed to see all the decorations done to the buildings, the restaurants, the streets, the markets, etc.
There are different places to visit and things to do in Derry/Londonderry anytime of the year - whether its Christmas or not. When you are visiting the Guildhall in Derry during Christmas, try to make sure you are choosing the perfect timing so that you would be able to check the Winterland Market as well, which was held from the 13th to the 16th of December 2018. In this market, there was a cinema, the market itself, and the Winterland Market bar.
Are you still thinking about the places to go to in Derry, Northern Ireland? You could go to the Mussenden Temple ( hit the Causeway Coastal Route which is one of the famous destinations in all of Northern Ireland ( the Tower Museum which is spread over five floors and its uppermost level gives stunning panoramic views of the Walled City and River Foyle, as well as walking down the old streets of the city and getting more introduced to the history that lies within.
Throughout the years, we have been to different cities and places in Northern Ireland during the festive time of Christmas and New Years, we have been to Antrim Castle Gardens which was all set up with the Christmas decorations and vibes ( we have also been to Belfast Christmas Market before, walking within those booths standing there with their products and enjoying a hot chocolate while walking through the decorations ( and we have even done some Christmas shopping in Belfast in one of the most famous shopping places there which is known as Victoria Square ( we have seen before the beautiful Christmas lights in Dublin, Ireland ( and finally we loved being in Lisburn before during this festive season so we could also attend the Christmas vibes there (
And who would not enjoy wandering the streets of a city that is decorated for Christmas and the New Years? Almost nobody. Wherever you are headed, you will always find those decorations that will attract your eyes to them and which you will immediately fall in love with.
This was our Christmas trip to Derry/Londonderry in Northern Ireland, where have you been this Christmas or where are you planning to spend the New Years Eve? Share with us your plans!
