A focal point of the northern midlands where the provinces of Leinster, Ulster and Connaught all converge, Longford, where history and literature, tragedy and triumph are all woven together, takes its name from the ancient stronghold of the O'Farrell family (Long Fort - Fort of the O'Farrells). Bordered to the West by the majestic River Shannon, Longford is a county of rolling plains and picturesque stretches of water. The highest pint of the county, Cairn Hill, is only 279 m high, but from atop the summit glorious views in all directions are afforded.

Ardagh House
Ardagh House
Description
Lady Fetherstone's ancestral home was Ardagh House, situated to the north of the village and now a school of Rural Domestic Economy. It was here, in 1774, that a young Oliver Goldsmith swaggered and bragged in the mistaken belief that he had arrived at an inn. The landlord humoured him for the night, but Goldsmith's dismay on realising his mistake the following morning can be easily imagined. However, he later turned his embarrassment to advantage, the incident being central to his comedy She stoops to Conquer.
