The peaceful sight of the River Foyle gives it a majestic feel of the cultural city of Derry. I walked across three bridges (Foyle, Peace and Craigavon) and felt the strong sturdy wind.

There are three bridges in Derry, and the Craigavon Bridge is furthest south. It connects the Bogside, with the Waterside. The other two are, the newly opened Peace Bridge, and the Foyle Bridge.

Sure what more could you ask for?! Occasionally on the top deck there is the opportunity to splash a pedestrian. Everyone is a winner!

Unusual as it is a double decker bridge. Unless bridges are your thing then it isn't all that exciting. The muddy waters of the Foyle aren't a great view.

This has been the main thoroughfare for traffic from one side of the river foyle to the other for a long long time. This historic bridge shoud be viewed, not for its current condition, but with a mind set of times gone past. Read up on the history of the bridge before visiting ,,,, that will put it into perspective.

The Craigavon Bridge is not the oldest suspension bridge nor the newest. It is no longer the tallest or the highest. Yet it remains the most visited and photographed bridge in the world. If you are able to visit the bridge, you can take a walking tour to help understand why the bridge is so compelling to so many people... More
