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 point of the county, Cairn Hill, is only 279 m high, but from atop the summit glorious views in all directions are afforded.

Castleforbes Demesne
Description
To the north-west of Longford town on the N4 (T3) is Castleforbes, seat of the Earls of Granard. An imposing castellated mansion dating to the seventeenth century, it was described by Nicholas Dowdall Esq, in 1682 as 'a fair and spacious house with lovely gardens of pleasure'. Permission to view Castleforbes demesne must be obtained in advance. The nearby village of Newtownforbes takes its name from that of the Earl's family, they having resided in the region since 1619. The village church, built in the late seventeenth century, is one of the few Regency buildings of its type in the country.
