All About Ballina: This is one of two listed heritage towns in north Tipperary. Ballina is built on the Tipperary side of the river Shannon, which divides it from the twin town of Killaloe. Recent developments offering improved boating facilities have further enhanced the lake activity in this area. The newly built tourist office across the bridge also houses a heritage centre that traces the various lake and river activities associated with the area since earliest times. The newly developed Brian Ború Centre is also located here. The linked towns of Killaloe and Ballina offer history, an exceptionally beautiful riverside setting and access to Ireland’s greatest waterway. Joined by a 13-arched stone bridge, the twin towns lie on either side of the River Shannon, where it narrows after passing through Lough Derg. Killaloe, on the left bank, in County Clare is a network of charming narrow streets, flanked by old shops and houses, that climb up the steep hillside and look down over the 13th century.
