Coleraine (Cúil Raithin in Irish Gaelic) is a town in Northern Ireland, in the county of Londonderry. A student town, Coleraine welcomes 5,000 students from the University of Ulster every year. All these young people make the town extremely attractive and multi-cultural. Golf, fishing and a variety of water sports are enjoyed here… Coleraine’s pubs are warm and friendly, and the people are welcoming… in other words, it’s hard to get bored in Coleraine!

Visit Coleraine

A dynamic town with imposing historic monuments

Coleraine boasts a number of major monuments well worth a visit. Notable among them is St Malachy’s Church, a neo-Gothic church in the town center. Don’t hesitate to push open the door and admire its central nave and stained glass windows: this church is the pride of Coleraine! (Let’s not forget that the Irish are a very religious people).

If you prefer colorful historic sites, consider a visit to St Patrick’s Church. This church is said to have been built by Saint Patrick himself! During your visit, you’ll notice that one of the church’s walls has been disfigured by a gigantic hole… It dates back to the siege of 1641, when a cannonball tore through one of the walls.
