Longford Tourism
County Longford lies in the Shannon basin and the upper catchment area of the River Erne. It is ideally located within easy reach of any of the country’s main centres. It’s just over an hour from Dublin and two hours from Galway.
Longford has a strong tradition in fishing angling, watersports, literary and heritage. It boasts many monastic sites throughout the county including the Dolmen in Aughnacliff, the ruins of the Abbey in Abbeylara and the historic ruins of St Mel’s first Cathedral in Ardagh.
Longford also has a strong tradition in music and the annual Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival is an example of how the local people are keeping this alive.
The true beauty of Longford lies in its pleasant views - it is a quiet countryside of farmlands, bog and the occasional low hill. Co Longford really is an ideal spot for a get-away-from-it-all relaxing break and your guaranteed value for money.
Longford is the ideal place for a break to get away from all the hustle and bustle of daily routine. Chose from a variety of accommodation and activities to do.
