The Oaks Fishery

Even if you're really into your fishing, you should try to make it off site at least once – the city of Derry/Londonderry has a fascinating past that's best explored on one of the popular walled city walking tours. The Museum of Free Derry and Tower Museum are worth a visit too, and it's good to have a stroll around looking out for the city’s famous street art and the Peace Bridge. Heading further out for a change of scenery, you might like to get out for walks in the Sperrin Area of Natural Beauty (25 minutes’ drive) or head along the coast to places like Castlerock beach (35 minutes) or Portrush (50 minutes). If you’ve never been, it's worth making the hour-long drive to the Giants Causeway as well. Crossing over into County Donegal, you can meet some of Ireland’s ‘lost wildlife’ (including wild boar, bears and lynx) at Wild Ireland (10 minutes) or carry on to see the dramatic landscapes of Glenevin Waterfall (40 minutes) and Malin Head (50 minutes).
