Take in the sites of this historic city on a self-guided GPS audio walk across the iconic Peace Bridge to Waterside, on the east bank of the River Foyle. We’ll hear about the military past of the area around Ebrington Square, and then continue on through the beautiful grounds of St Columb's Park. We’ll end the tour by making our way to the old railway station through the area of my childhood home in Bonds Street.

• The city's saint, St Columba who established his monastery here in 542 AD.

• The city's oldest building, St Brecan's Church

• The Siege of Derry that took place near Stronge's Orchard in 1688 and 1699
