The Quay in Ballina – A Historic Waterfront

Ballina’s Quay, located on the eastern bank of the River Moy, has been a significant port since 1817. In the early 19th century, trade flourished between Ballina and other Irish cities, as well as Scotland and North America. The area is adorned with numerous boats docked along the quay, creating a picturesque and lively atmosphere. Notably, The Ice House Hotel, constructed in 1836, was originally designed to preserve fish before transportation to markets in Dublin and Liverpool. Nearby, the Creteboom ship, an unusual concrete vessel, stands as a relic of maritime history.

The Famine Wall – A Monument to Resilience

The Famine Wall, located near the Quay, is a poignant reminder of Ireland’s Great Famine in the mid-19th century. Constructed during this period, the wall stands as a testament to the resilience and endurance of the Irish people during one of the country’s most challenging times.

Rosserk Abbey – A Glimpse into Medieval Monastic Life

Situated approximately 4 km from Killala, Rosserk Abbey is a well-preserved Franciscan friary founded around 1440 by a member of the Joyce family. The abbey’s architecture features a single-aisle church with a bell-tower over the chancel arch and a double piscina in the southeast corner, adorned with intricate carvings. Despite being burned in 1590, it remains a significant historical and architectural site.
