Killaloe

Killaloe is separated from its twin town Ballina on the other side of the river Shannon by an 300 year old stone bridge. In the 2 towns you will find 10 pubs, 8 restaurants, 3 takeaways, 3 supermarkets and a few smaller shops, a bank, a banklink (cash machine) etc..  There is a really nice relaxed atmosphere in the pubs and it is easy to get into a conversation with the locals. A few pubs have live music every week. The restaurants offer great food at modest prices. You can get a 3-course meal from as little as 25 euro.

History of Killaloe

Just over a 1000 years ago Brian Boru,  the High King of Ireland, lived in Killaloe in his palace called “Kincora”. During that periode Killaloe was in a way the capital of Ireland! Brian Boru and his men defeated the Vikings at the battle of Clontarf. His fort was located at the strategic point where the Shannon flows out of Lough Derg. Every summer there is a Brian Boru festival in Killaloe.
