Derry, a bustling business center in the north-west has a charming feel to it, with music at every turn. This is mainly a hilly county, with scenic glens and river valleys. To the south the Sperrin mountains, culminating in Sawel mass along the border with County Tyrone; in the north is the Atlantic coast, fringed with magnificent beaches of surf-washed sand. Derry city is an ancient and historic town situated on a commanding hill overlooking a broad tidal curve of the River Foyle. On the northern coast near Downhill is Benone beach, and throughout the county there are numerous tourist attractions. Derry has been a seaport for thousands of years, a point of departure from Ireland, and is mentioned in this context in hundreds of songs, the most famous of which is probably the song 'Danny Boy' which is set to the music of 'The Derry Air'.
