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 & 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 & houses, that climb up the steep hillside & look down over the 13th century cathedral.
Killaloe:
The Killaloe Tourist Office located at the Brian Boru Heritage Centre. Watersports are the key to the popularity of Killaloe. Boats of all kinds from rowing boats to Shannon cabin cruisers are available for hire and water-skiing has long been popular. Short (circa one-hour) tours of the River Shannon and Lough Derg are available from the Ballina side aboard the 50-seater passenger boat Spirit of Killaloe Spirit of Killaloe & boats of all kinds may be hired. In September, Killaloe is the venue for the European Pike Angling Championships. Great Entertainment Early in July, the Brian Boru Festival brings traditional music and a variety of entertainment, inside and outside, to the towns for a week.
