Reviewed By karenj558

An excellent introduction to the life and work of Seamus Heaney. Really interesting exhibition, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and great local refreshments available in the coffee shop. All social distancing measures in place including one way system and lots of sanitiser but does not take away from the experience at all.

Bellaghy Bawn

About 20 miles from Bellamena. Technically Northern Ireland or United Kingdom, not Ireland but that was not an option on the drop down menu.

The Siege Museum

Reviewed By maskedintruder - Belfast, United Kingdom

Took a day trip to Londonderry to see the sights on the walls , I had heard or the the siege museum from people who had been there before so thought we would give it a visit , although not widely advertised managed to find it through the one way road system. Parking is just across the street , the museum is spread over 3 levels with lift access, the guy on the desk was very informative about the displays and upcoming events and routes around the walls , £4 entrance fee and free for kids . Museum is very well kept and many artefacts on display from the world wars , throughout the museum they have a mass of information about the siege of Derry along with audio visual shows explaining the history of the walled city . On ground floor they have a gift shop well stocked and reasonably priced and many booklets explaining the history and events in the city. I would recommend a visit to the siege museum for anyone wanting to learn the history of the city and apprentice boys . Well worth a visit if in the area
