On January 30, 1972 about 10,000 people protesting internment without trial organized a march for civil rights. The British Army kept them from the center of Derry so they marched through the Catholic neighborhood of Bogside. Shooting broke out and 13 marchers died and 13 were wounded. The day is brilliantly portrayed in the movie “Bloody Sunday”. After this the “troubles’ between Catholic Republicans and Protestant Unionists exploded. Though the clash occurred nearly 50 years ago, this tour is led by Bogside residents who lost loved ones on Bloody Sunday. The events are memorialized in a series of murals. You can do a self guided walk as well but we’d recommend the guided tour. If the times don’t work for you tour guides also offer taxi tours (call or email for options). Tours occur daily April – September at 11:00 and 13:00 and on Monday – Friday an extra tour at 15:00 is available. We also recommend watching the movie before you visit Derry.
