Ballina Municipal District Essentials

The Ballina Municipal District encompasses North Mayo’s most significant historical sites, from the 5,500-year-old Neolithic field systems at Céide Fields to the 15th-century Franciscan ruins of Rosserk and Moyne Abbeys. The region features the well-preserved 12th-century Killala Round Tower and the dramatic Dún Briste sea stack at Downpatrick Head. Cultural highlights include the Jackie Clarke Collection of Irish historical documents and the Titanic Memorial Park in Lahardane, which honors the local passengers of the ill-fated 1912 voyage.
