Welcome to Magherafelt Walks & Talks

We offer historical tours of the South Derry area to visitors who wish to learn more about the area’s social, cultural and historical development from 1600 to the present day.

The wider Magherafelt area covers a twenty mile radius of the town, including Ballyronan, Moneymore, Maghera, The Loup, Castledawson and Bellaghy.

It includes the home area of Seamus Heaney, the Nobel Prize winning poet, who was born and raised near Castledawson. He is buried in the graveyard beside St Mary’s Church Bellaghy.
