About

The Creggan South ward lies on a steep hillside overlooking the River Foyle to the east. The area is primarily residential, characterised by terraced housing and several local schools. Its elevated position provides clear views across the city centre and the surrounding landscape. The layout of the streets follows the natural contours of the hill.

The area includes the large Creggan Country Park, offering open green space and walking paths on the city's western edge. The local road network connects directly to the city centre and other parts of Derry. The famous Free Derry Corner, with its historical political murals, is situated at the foot of the Creggan estate.
