Fodor's Expert Review Garden of Reflection
Derry
Garden
Free
An imaginative rus in urbe, this small city-center oasis of calm features a courtyard, amphitheater, and gallery space where travelers can escape the bustle of traffic and noise. A paved "river" runs through the garden, symbolic of life's journey, while artistic features include a crystal healing wall and specially commissioned artworks. In the words of the new era, it is "a shared space" that can be enjoyed by all sections of the community in a historic part of the walled city. Lunchtime events are sometimes held.
