3About Longford
Longford sits right at the crossroads where the N4 and N5 meet, making it a grand spot for breaking up longer journeys between Dublin and the west. You'll find yourself passing through whether you're headed to Sligo, Westport, or down to Kerry, with about 20 EV charging points if you're driving electric. The town's got decent connections to Athlone and Mullingar, both 44 kilometers away, and the train to Dublin takes under two hours. St. Mel's Cathedral is the real showstopper here, completely rebuilt after a Christmas Day fire in 2009 with incredible attention to the original 19th-century details.
