Summary
S-curve pedestrian bridge over the Foyle, a visual symbol of post-conflict Derry.
About this location
The Peace Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle bridge across the River Foyle in Derry, opened in 2011. The bridge’s sweeping S-curve design by Wilkinson Eyre connects the former Ebrington Barracks site on the east bank to the city walls on the west. As a symbol of cross-community connection and a striking piece of contemporary infrastructure, the bridge has appeared in news footage, documentaries, and promotional content about the city. The Ebrington Square development on the east bank has provided additional outdoor event and filming space. The bridge’s design makes it a visually distinctive waterfront location for productions set in Derry.
The site has attracted attention from location scouts working across the region and represents a practical addition to the available filming stock in this part of Britain. Production enquiries should be directed to the site manager or managing authority well in advance of intended shoot dates. The combination of visual character and accessibility makes this location a viable choice for productions of varied scale and budget, from documentary units to mid-budget drama series requiring authentic British settings.
