Foyle Valley Railway Museum

This museum is dedicated to telling the rich railway history of the city and surrounding area.  At the heart of the exhibition is a recreated railway station platform and within the displays visitors can find out about the various railway companies which once operated out of the city.

Derry today is served by just one railway system, which reaches to Belfast and Dublin and beyond.  At one time, however, it was served by four different systems, which stretched throughout Northern Ireland and into County Donegal.  This museum houses an exhibition of memorabilia of the ‘Golden Age’.
This museum is also a great family attraction with a dedicated children’s play area in one of the old railway carriages.  We also have tea and coffee facilities available on site.
