Amelia Earhart Cottage - County Derry.

When in Derry visit the Amelia Earhart Cottage and Ballyarnett Community Farm and Wildlife Sanctuary. This 60 acre site is to be found to the north of Derry city and is not to be missed. The centre was built to recognize the achievement of Amelia Earhart –the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic on 21st May 1931. She landed in a field just beside this site. The farm animals and native Irish wildlife are also worth seeing. The Cottage is open Mon-Fri 9-5, and the Farm – 10am-dusk in winter, 9am-9pm in Summer (until 6pm at weekend).
