If you enjoy history, good storytelling, walks with great views, the macabre, having a laugh, or chatting with nice people then a tour of Derry City Cemetery with Seamus Breslin is a must if you are visiting Derry. It was one of the highlights of our very enjoyable time in Derry. Go ahead and book a tour, you won't regret it!

The Peace IV Project – Folklore and Myths We had made a special trip to visit this beautiful place, to learn a little bit of history and folk lore. I was with a party from Clanmil housing, and, after visiting Dracula's or Abertachs grave site, up the road a bit … an eerie place to be at night I would think... You could almost imagine the little bats flying round at head level, and the funny moans and groans of the wee goblins and spirits, in the dark and misty night, with thee wind blowing about, and the gentle clatter of horses hooves, as you tried to make out that you weren't scared we then made the trip here, ...to the Priory.. and by jove… it IS special … isn't it... Upon entering the site, and the little walk along the lane, you are immediately struck by the eerie stillness, and tranquillity, among the old ruins and falling headstones, and the long grasses … and I was always wondering, who was buried here , and, if they could see us now... what would they be thinking... The place is so sad looking, yet it is buzzing with a special atmosphere, that makes you want to see more...and learn more... I wonder what it would have been like living here... all those many many years ago... Also inside the building itself, there is the tomb of O'Cahan, a chieftan, with lovely, aged, and weathered, carvings of Scottish Soldiers, guarding the tomb... Also, along the entrance lane way there is on the right hand side, thru a hedge gap, a large round stone with a hole in it, and mementos tied on the tree branches... the stone is supposed to have healing powers ...for... “Worts” ... It is an incredible place to be, and I would have stayed longer, if we had not been on a schedule... But I can, without hesitation, absolutely highly recommend 110%, a visit to this historical site, it does, immediately, take your breath away, and when you, (reluctantly) leave, you can not help but wonder...!!! ...Who, were these wonderful people, who lived their lives inside these beautiful grounds, surrounded by peace and quietness... Oh... I do love history... After visiting, it makes me want to know more... and hopefully I will, at a later date... This is a MUST SEE area, steeped in mysterious history... I was so glad I got the chance to see it, and the area surrounding ...My little grandson in Scotland, would have loved this trip... he's well into old history, and he's almost 10 year old... Thank you to our tour guides on the bus, and to the Priory … A truly unforgettable day …

Really nice walk from the car park at Cushendall beach, following the cliff path and ending up at Layde Old Church.

This grave yard is well worth a visit as is the whole village of Gracehill. The best place to start is in the Old School where you will get a little of the history. Then go to the church. Years ago there was two doors. One for men and the other one for females. The graves are devided the same way on the left side of the path is all male and the right all female graves. Also the headstones are not upright. They all lie nearly flat. Well worth going to see
