Kilcoole has a rich history. Kilcoole Rock is a rocky outcrop which was an easily defended site in ancient times. In the early Christan era monks from St. Comgall`s monastery in Bangor established a monastery here, giving the town it`s name. The remaining ruined church may date from the 12th century. In Victorian times it was known as a seaside health resort.
