About
A guided walk through the heart of Ballina with a local who knows the town, run by Ballina Walking Tours and starting at the Jackie Clarke Collection. The route follows the streets and the River Moy that made the place, taking in its founding, the old barracks, the Famine and emigration years and the salmon trade, along with Ballina's links to figures like Mary Robinson. It is told with stories, humour and local legend rather than a list of dates, and runs at an easy pace of about ninety minutes. A good way to read the town before you walk the Ridge Pool and Belleek Woods yourself.
