VANLIFE in a TROUBLED NORTHERN IRELAND CITY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- After visiting the stunning towns and villages of Northern Ireland we came to our first city before crossing the border to the Republic of Ireland.
Londonderry or Derry became famous in 1972 because of the shootings of 14 innocent people by the British army as they took part in a local march, often referred to as the Troubles we take a look at current day and why this city has changed.

The walls were built by the English to keep the Irish out. They also renamed the city from Derry to Londonderry, hence the reason the name is controversial. Most Protestants call it Londonderry and most Catholics call it Derry
at last a sensible input
this is why we referred to both names as we got told different things whist we where there
Fenians burned Derry to the ground. It was rebuilt by the English who had respect enough to include the old name in the new city named Londonderry.
@@ProfileP246 you talk some waffle . United ireland around the corner my little bigget friend , keep marching you muppet. 👍
Respect you say, I dare you to call in Londonderry when your in the city side 😊
Look guys,stay away from politics. Especially in Ireland stick to light entertainment.
we have tired believe me
Yous done well to stay very neutral, just want to say thank you for exploring bloody Sunday, good to see from a British person's perspective
Derry ( Doire, meaning oak grove in Irish ) breathes history since it was a monastery site dating back to the 6th century , I live here and it would be very difficult for anyone to tour the city , give their impression and ignore the history good and bad, I thought this video was excellent, they showed the city as it is and I’m glad they enjoyed themselves and hope they come back again , we’ll done 👏👏👏
@@Galwayblazer thank you you have taken the words out of our mouths
@@sullyandmike188 thank you
The troubles had been going 2 and a half years when bloody Sunday happened.
@@paulowens6004 as in Rome had been stirring the pot.
Definitely it’s better stay away from politics. It’s a very complicated place although it has come on in the last few years
I think the troubles might be a little more complicated but at least you didn’t mention Oliver Cromwell
My mum lived in Londonderry until she was 21. When the family moved over to Hull, the one thing she missed was the hills, as Hull is virtually flat.
You’re going to love Donegal ❤️ just stay on the fence guys. Believe me from a lady who has been going back and fourth for the last 16 yrs to Belfast xx
Enjoy Donegal folks, most beautiful place on earth.
We agree!
I love Co Donegal x@@NorthernersonTour
Cheeko made me laugh when he was singing along with the police/fire brigade siren was going off. So cute. Love from Caroline Butler ❤
he loves to howl at sirens
Stunning Londonderry I spent time up there working on Derry Girls as a Extra on Series 3 I now fancy going back not been since filming your video has gave me back the beautiful memories of this gorgeous city im now looking to book to go back thank you ♥️
@@PaulDellow great stuff xx
@@PaulDellow Its Derry.
Looks fab there! It’s tragic that humans battle humans and cause each other so much pain and heartache 🙁 peace and love to you and safe travels n see ya soooon! X ❤
well said jp ❤️❤️❤️
You need to return to Derry for the Jazz and Blues Festival in May. The place is buzzing for 4 days or the Halloween Parade. Great park up just up from Ebrington Square then 10min walk over peace bridge.
Check out Rathmullan, beach is awesome and The Singing Pub near Downings at Donegal. Dunfanaghy a lovely spot too 👍
I knew the comments would be colourful in this one.
👍🏻👍🏻
Another great vlog . It holds a lot of heartache and tears for so many people does this place 💔. God bless them all xx
So true!
Derry looks great ,thanks for the video 😊😊😊
your welcome xx
11:25 my father and mother decided to move our family from here in 1969 to an area distant from the 'troubles'.
❤️❤️❤️
Great bit of history guys it really is a fascinating place ,loved your walk along the wall I remember Bloody Sunday such an awful tragedy .thanks for another great Vlog ❤
thank you jenny xxx
Well you forgot to mention,
John Hume
The Undertones, greatest 80's band.
The peace process.
The Brandy well
Celtic park.
The civil rights marches that preceaded BloodySunday.
Still I watch your show.
So glad you came to my home town it a lovely city we all lovely people wish I knew you where I would have said hello
thank you elizabeth xx
I'm from Derry. Glad to see youse speaking about the history of Derry, especially Bloody Sunday and talking about the aftermath. Don't listen to everyone saying to leave politics out of it, the politics are unavoidable when you go there and you are only telling people what you learned.
@@davidoconnor4028 thank you so much for this david that is what we have been saying all along x
Aw I’m gutted, I was visiting Derry/Londonderry yesterday and actually called into the pub next to the lamp post you put your sticker on, never thought to check for a sticker.
have a look next time xx
The grass doesn't look any different 😂
That gave me a chuckle.
Welcome to Ireland folks...loving your nice, easy going vids
Glad you enjoyed
Great video. Love watching what you guy get up to. Thanks as always and do take care
@@PAM-ud9lv thank you xxx
Kept the best to last :) Hard to beat our wee city, Doire. Happy to hear that you had a look into the history and now know a bit more about it.
Thanks again!
Really interesting to hear the history of the places you visit gives it a whole new outlook. Thanks for another great video😊
thank you xxx
Today's vlog has been absolutely amazing and like you, I knew pretty much nothing about Ireland and Northern Ireland, so I took your advice and looked up stuff and I was totally and utterly gob smacked.
I have never been to Ireland, I was born in South Wales and the only time I've been to England is when I emigrated with my parents and brother and sisters, who were ten pound poms to come to Australia, where I've been ever since.
If you ever come to Melbourne, please let me know, as I would love to meet you both and show you around a bit.
As always I love your channel - you with Nick and Sarah and they're two little doggies are the best Motor Home Channels on RUclips, also my 18 year old wee doggie passed away, a few months after your little one passed.
Love you both and of course Chicco.
Three minutes in and I'm laughing already! The walls were built to keep the Irish out.
Another good episode, I enjoy watching your unpretentious take on things. When you get into the rest of Ireland be sure to only say that you've been to Derry to avoid the continual corrections that will invariably come your way otherwise. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
thank you @hgsteel
Hi. Londonderry was built by the Honourable Irish Society under the reign of James 1st of England, it was one of two large towns built during the Plantation of Ulster, the other being Coleraine, both received their charters in 1613. It was built to keep the Native Irish out as they weren't to happy with the English & Scottish moving in. It is also know as the Maiden City as its walls have never been breached. The pile of wood near the walls is for the 11th night bonfire which is held there every year on the 11th August.before the Apprentice Boys Parade which is held on the 12th August to celebrate the end to the Siege of Derry
Well said!
During the seige, was it the bell ringer or trumpeter that had to emigrate to Canada due to poverty. And he was on the british side.
11th of July and 12th of July .......
@@oo-mp4ol The 12th of July was to celebrate the victory that King William of Orange had over King James ll at the Battle of the Boyne. That ended any chance James had in taken over the whole if the British Isles but the at the very start of James ll was travelling through Ireland rising a army to take over the British Isles until he came to Londonderry where instead of just walking in and making himself at home the youth of the city shut the gates on his troops. King James wasn't happy with this inconvenience so he turned up at the city personally only be be shot at and a soldier next to him was shot and killed so he thought to himself, F...k this boys, put the city under siege until they wise up and Surrender, and to help speed thing up his troops would shoot from canons from the nearby hills, over the city walls. A long with all the folk killed more died of starvation and disease forcing them to eat cats, dogs and rats. The cats, Dogs and rats would eat the dead of King James army. It was the longest siege in Europe with 8000 people in the city dieing but they would never Surrender and that's why today people of the area will still say No Surrender. The siege ended when three ships got through the Boom that was across the river Foyle, bring food to the city meaning James had no chance of taking over the city. It had held him back which lead him not getting his big army and losing the following year at the Boyne. That's why the Apprentice Boys celebrated on the 12th of August. It celebrates the end of a siege and they have celebrated the 12th every year since then. The 11th nights are for bonfires. Back in them days bonfires where used to signal stuff like invading army's etc. They would've been on high hilltops.
@@AustellHenderson The Apprentice Boys parade took place on the 10th of August this year and is held every 2nd Saturday of August every year. Not the 12th.
The 11th night bonfires are held on the 11th of July, not August, and in celebration of Prince William of Orange landing in Carrickfergus.
I know the history.
People in Londonderry also have a bonfire on the 11th August. Some housing estates will just do the 11th August and some will do both the 11th July & 11th August.
I served in NI many times during the troubles in the 1970' and 80's, best stay clear of the politics 👍
this vlog is not about politics it’s about what we found are read on day in derry we covered alot of things in the city !!
Awe my beautiful city.
it really is
Im so glad that you went to the Free Derry museum and read up on the politics and history ❤ My family is from Derry, both sides of what was a divide. Such great people there. I'm so glad that a lot of the barricades, look out stations (on the wall) and soldiers have gone.
@@superstarshining thank you we are gald to have visited derry it was stunning x
The Truth of British Colonialism in Ireland is unavoidable to talk about in Ireland, to ordinary decent People like yourselves
Great Honest Videos as usual.
Great Work, always welcome in Ireland 🇮🇪
thanks for your lovely comment xxx
Interesting vlog that guys. Some of those murals are real works of art. Loving this tour with you guys xx
Bless chicco ❤❤

Thank you for the upload guys ❤
@@johnconnick3796 your welcome xx
👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Lisa & Mark, ive been watching your vlogs for a few months now and have loved every one to the point were I don't really watch any other RUclipsrs anymore lol. I have lived in Northern Ireland for 60 years now, my family are all from here go back lots of years, love your information you give in your vlogs but the troubles did not start here because of Bloody Sunday, troubles began long before that. I have grown up through the troubles and the things we have seen here are atrocious, so many innocent people on both sides of the divide killed unnecessarily, leaving families heartbroken BUT thank God we live in more peaceful times now. Wanted to ask if you have ever considered going to Fuengirola and doing a day trip to Gibraltar, my sister and I were born there 1964, 1965 (Dad was serving in the British Navy) I have been to Gib 3 times but never been up the rock to Apes Den. Anyway have a lovely day and look forward to the next one xo
hi amanda we have done gibralter last year there is a vlog we loved it there xx
@@NorthernersonTour happy days 🥰🥰I must back track and find the video xo
Acros the bridge into southern irelqnd qnd the next town on the border is called Muff you shouldve alao stopped in broughshane, great little aire with electric and water need tokens from the icecream shop for electric enjoy your travels
I hope yous had a great time over here. I'm not going to mention our troubles as some keyboard warriors get bitter and like to label folk.
Im sure Mark has heard this before that he looks like Rich from pawn stars 😁.
Your both looking well and so welcome here. Ty for that vlog and keep coming back. 👍💯👌
thank you ❤️❤️
I have never been, so I enjoyed learning about and seeing the city of Londonderry. Very cool murals!😀
derry
Glad you enjoyed
Great video. loved both those songs back in the day
Agree with below. Leave the politics to the politicians. Enjoy your travels.
Love the murals on the walls 😀
they are stunning
Hello! 👋 looks like you had a nice time in Derry. I love that song .. Tarzan boy!!! 😅 plenty of famous people here in NI. Derry girls is so funny. Thanks for another entertaining video ❤
The wood u saw is for the bonfires on the 11th of July b4 the 12th day parade that is y u c all the flags out
Love the video nice to see that part of the UK i haven't been as yet, So excited your returning to Europe does that mean France. Get the ferry from Portsmouth to Cean much better, Then drive down the west side to Spanish boarder. But as you get of in Cean go and do the D-Day trial visit the beaches. We can give you hot tips on where to go, Then back down to Bordeaux and Le Rocheal and Gers great places, Look at the Vienne River lots of free places and nice villages on route, We would welcome you in our town, Merci
Excellent video of our hometown on the Foyle , come back soon ❤️
Thank you! Will do!
Glad you are all well interesting Ireland is, remember no lawn mower spots Lol 👍🤗❤️
🤣🤣
It's refreshing to see an open English understanding of our history here in Derry....but then your good Northerners so not surprised..hope you had a good time in my home city...Enjoy the rest of your trip guys.
@@minter261 thank you xxx
If you're heading into Donegal definitely stop off in rathmullan for a pint in the beachcomber and a walk/swim on the beach. Ardara as well for Gracie Neil's for the oysters 😘.
Thanks for the tips!
Loved this thanks ❤
Hi Lisa and mark great vlog thanks for sharing with us ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Love it. Very interesting and informative xx
thank you xx
Be careful you don't get done for fly-posting putting your stickers on lamp posts etc. Its a criminal offence and some councils fine you and take you to court to recover the costs of removing the stickers. We don't want our Northerners being fined 😊😊
they have to catch me first 🤣🤣🤣
@@NorthernersonTour 😂 xx
Don't listen to Karen.. you won't get fined 😂 absolute nonsense
The walls were built to protect the english and scotish settlers. The wood is to build the 11th night bonfire.
Its so nice to see British people understanding the sadness of that terrible sadness on bloody sunday in Derry,theres so much history on the toubles in Ireland and its great to see u taking an interest in our beautiful country,i enjoyedvthis viseo so much n sorry to hrar about ur early morning disturbance,some peo0le just dont havecany consideration,pity u wernt staying longer cos half an hour takes u into beautiful Inishowen in Co Donegal,looking forwardvto the nxt one guys,good luck,good health n happineds to thr three of u,luv ur videos❤❤❤❤
Northern Ireland Londonderry
@@johnbarnes9379depends on how you view it, most Irish people call it Derry including most protestants. It's only loyalists who call it London Derry
@@sullyandmike188 what's the difference between loyalists and protestants? Both would call it Londonderry if it came to a poll
@@johnbarnes9379Can we not just appreciate the city for how beautiful it is
@@johnbarnes9379go back under your rock mate , you've another bottle of cider left 👍 🇮🇪 muppet
Protestants call it londonderry, catholics call it derry the correct name 😉 I ll keep you right . Derry man 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Interesting vlog. Thanks guys.
your welcome
Should go to Omagh if you get a chance have a look at the town centre see were 29 men women and children were blown to bit's on a summer's day... just a thought if you're passing....
Shergal Farky 😂 & omg yeah I remember that song x. Nothing worse is there, I'm not good early hrs after nightly meds... We find that when we go to club sites, it's like frig off, lol...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@NorthernersonTour safe travels to Europe, looking forward to the next one 😘
Hilarious
,"We've had to sneak Chico in the rucksack", me 'oh these guys are a laugh, ' ..oh no Chico is really in tge rucksack! Lol
yes he loved his baggy
It's derry not londonderry. Your more and welcome to visit are beautiful city again but I hope the weather is better for your next visit and i recommend a weekend cos the town and nightlife is good with plenty of irish craic and a warm irish welcome and at least the grass cutters won't be around in the weekends so you can have a hangover with a lay in
Derry Catholic and Londonderry Protestant.
Hi Lisa Mark and chicco don’t have a moan about Northern Ireland council cutting the grass you was very lucky here in Willenhall West Midlands the council charge you a fortune in council tax and don’t even look after our in Stroud Avenue it’s a bloody mess
@@LorraineJones-yp2dt not moaning about them cutting it i’m on about the time they do it at
We love Derry girls it’s hilarious gutted they didn’t make more episodes. Young offenders is similar humor if you are looking for something when you’ve watched Derry girls.
aww cheers for that
Don’t forget Father Ted the classic 🤣
@@Tzahx_ oh youve just reminded me of that might go watch father ted from the start again 😂
Great video again looking forward to where you go next xx
hi there thank you xx
Great quality video, amusing how little is known about tbe places you visit, when in Broughshane you missed the first Aires outside of Europe, also the thatch pub, also most decorated soldier in British history also also if in the pub the King has drank in there on two different occasions. You would have saw the pictures, in Bushmills all the bunting was about a battle between two English kings over the throne in 1690! The maiden city so named as its walls have never been breached! Derry, Londonderry was the site of the longest siege in British history also extreemly important during WW2. Etc, etc. Good video though, ask the locals, here people will talk to you and help you.
thanks for the info x
Brilliant vlog AGAIN ❤
Thanks again!
Mark you are so funny glad you are enjoying Derry . When are you coming south
we already are
You should have went into foyleside or the Richmond shopping centres, far bigger and better eating that quayside. Foyleside has a great foodcourt or between the 2 centres you have badgers bar, the best pub grub in derry
Just seen you've seen badgers, the Derry Girls mural is on the back wall 😂
Love the plaits Lisa.
thanks val it was a travel day and easiest thing to do xx
Hi Guys,built to keep the Irish out and it's a British city,ie Londonderry.

There’s a lovely park I use to go and walk the dog was so lovely, London Derry/ Derry is a pretty city. It is not just gardeners doing that in the morning, they are terrible turning up at the school I work at just as the kids are going out for lunch too xxx
it’s like most mornings nikki strimming or mowing
Love your vlogs guys . Well done ❤
@@BertieBus aw thank you lovelies hope your both well xx
Some of the comments on this video are why I don't bother about history or politics. We got one life folks. Live it in peace and harmony, and have as much fun as possible. We have more in common than anything that divides us.

You made a mistake trying to explain politics in Ireland in a very volatile time.
@@user-ij8sj6yd9p never have i tried to explain any politics we vlogs the information given to us at the free derry museum !!!
Sorry I missed you 2, could have given you a tour of the city

Please Lisa don’t make comments on Bloody Sunday . You obviously are not aware of the true facts. I served there and was there on that day and I can assure you the British army opened fire after being fired on.
Well said 👏
Rubbish!
Well said- mcguinness was seen armed with a machine gun that day and at the Saville inquiry he refused to answer a number of questions which were pertinent to the events that day
@@andrewroy2876100%
@@andrewroy2876I was on William st and heard the thump thump of a low velocity weapon (Thompson) being fired towards troops. Uniformed people should do some research and engage their brains before making comments .
I enjoy your channel and it's interesting seeing how 'outsiders' see us but, as already been said, there are 2 versions to every story and even 2 versions of history taught in the schools! Better keep it light and steer away from history and politics. We've come a long away here but there are still sensitivities and deep-seated hurts that cannot be covered in a channel like yours, good and all as it is!
Best place there is so much to see wish l knew where coming some great places to eat
aw thank you xx
love your vlog mark and lisa your both looking good
❤️❤️
Great vlog guys really enjoyed watching ❤Chris/ Jan
thanks guys x
I’m an ex British Army veteran, do your research please!
this vlog is not about politics it’s about what we found are read on day in derry we covered alot of things in the city !! we don’t need to research anything as our visit was not all about the troubles it was a fraction and we read the information given to us at the scene 👍🏻
@@NorthernersonTour best to just steer clear of anything political/religious in NI….right or wrong it’ll upset someone. Looking forwards to more of the vlogs👍
Problem with listening to info on scene, is that a lot of it is biased towards the narrative of each side. Be aware that not everything is reported correctly
@@philadamson9569 if you visit the museums in Derry you get a very balanced and truthful view of the city's history. I think the vlog was there to share what they saw - a lot of Derry's history will focus on the troubles and places like the big side (eg. for the murals). If you were in Belfast you would see more from both sides of the troubles and present day opinions.
@@superstarshining I worked in this area for nearly 20 years during and post troubles. It's amazing how much of history has been airbrushed to suit the narrative of the local person's
