531. BallinasloeBallinasloe ( Beal Atha na Sluaigheadh - the Town of the Ford of the Hostings), is an ancient town which increased in importance when Turlough O'Connor, King of Connacht, fortified Dun Leodha (Dunlo) at the beginning of the 12th century. In 1124 he built a stone castle there to command the river crossing. The town has a population of 6,000, and is situated in the centre of a district that is steeped in history. Ruined Churches and Abbeys testify to the piety of its people and their steadfastness during Penal Times. Old Forts and castles tell of ancient enmities and of the long struggle between Norman and Irish. The tragic battlefield of Aughrim reminds us of the time when Irish and Anglo-Irish united to fight for the cause of the Catholic Stuarts against William of Orange, and died in their thousands.

532. BallyconneelyBallyconneely, 10 km south from Clifden, and the entry point to the Errismore Peninsula, is an ideal place from which to explore the many fine beaches, some with coral strands, situated along the nearby Ballyconneely and Mannion Bays. In recent times, evidence of early coastal settlement stretching back 5,000 years, including middens or ancient rubbish heaps of burnt stone, charcoal, shells, as well as stone blades have been found along the shorelines here and add to the excitement of exploration.

533. BallygarThis attractive little town, on the N63, is situated by the River Suck, which forms the county boundary with County Roscommon, and, thus is an ideal base for the angler. Its long street and square are kept neat and tidy, and it is not surprising that the town has won number of Bord Failte Tidy Town awards. Just 1.5 km north of the town, lies Aghrane Woods with lay-by, picnic sites and forest walks. Services in Ballygar Hotels | Car Rental | Vacation Packages
