This quiet little harbour is a small seaside resort that has still been preserved from tourism. The French General Humbert, who landed there with his troops to help with the rebellion against the English, had a lot to do with the undisciplined Irish troops, who only spoke Gaelic! The village has preserved a beautiful round tower (12th century) 25 metres high, which served as a refuge during an attack.

A truly ancient town, it's thought that Killala is one of Ireland's oldest settlements. Today, it's a lovely small fishing town with a distinctive 12th-century round tower and its impressive Church of Ireland cathedral. There are a few bars and pubs for refreshment.

In 1798, inspired by the idea of American freedom and the French Revolution, troops landed on this beach to wage a war of independence against England.
Unfortunately, this independence of free Conagh lasted only 32 days and was brutally suppressed.
