Greysteel is a village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, lying nine miles east of Derry and eleven miles west of another nearby point. The locality’s history is marked by the tragic Greysteel massacre of 30 October 1993, when a loyalist paramilitary group opened fire on civilians in a crowded pub during a Halloween party, killing eight and wounding nineteen. The incident was a response to earlier violence and led to the sentencing of four men to life imprisonment, with their release under the Good Friday Agreement terms. Despite this dark chapter, Greysteel remains a small community with a distinct identity, situated within the postal district BT 47 and part of the broader County Londonderry area. The village’s proximity to Derry offers residents access to urban amenities while maintaining a rural atmosphere.
