Nestled into the heart of Ireland’s  Midlands, County Longford basks in unspoiled natural beauty with lakelands, bogland, pastureland and wetlands. 

This quiet and understated county is famed for its fishing, gentle countryside, quiet pace of life, and heritage attractions. 

Make sure to head for Ardagh, a wonderful village built in the 1860s; the intriguing and beautiful Belvedere House and Gardens; and the incredible Corlea Trackway Visitor Centre, which tells the spectacular history of the Old Bog Road, an Iron-Age road uncovered in a bog at Corlea.
