It seems that the closest place I have to a city is the city of Derry which is in the United Kingdom. It is a short drive to the city and I have already been there several times. I could say that I am more or less familiar central area, where the walled city is and I have taken photos of some interesting places there. I remember though, through a conversation with a friendly local that one of the places to visit there is a place which they call Long Tower Church. This is supposedly one of the most impressive churches in Derry. I was meaning to visit this church but as nature was calling me I wasn’t able to go. Now, I had another chance to visit this church.

It is not really difficult to find my way to the church, I needed follow the walls and get to Bishops gate. From the gate you would be able to see the church, so just get off the walls and follow the street which leads to the church. The streets will lead you past some residential areas, and perhaps some chat with friendly locals. The street leading directly to the church was nicely shaded although with autumn, a lot of leaves have already fell. Too bad that the leaves were wet because of the rain, or it would have been a lovelier scene.
