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.

Lanesborough
Description
In the town of Lanesborough stands one of the oldest centres of Christianity in Longford. St. John's Church stands on the site of the original church founded in the fifth century. This early Christian Church was part of a small monastic settlement whose chief centre was on Saint's Island on Lough Ree. Frequently raided and despoiled by Viking invaders, the church was left largely in ruins throughout the medieval period. It was only in the early 17th century when George Lane was created the first viscount of Lanesborough that an almost completely new church was constructed in 1740 and more recently in 1861 when the church took the form in which it still stands today.
