Longford has a variety of interesting and educational places to visit from the Knights and Conquests Heritage Centre to the Backstage Theatre. To highlight the school tour options, Longford Tourism funded by Fáilte Ireland have compiled a comprehensive brochure showcasing some of Longford’s attractions suitable for school tours.

The colourful brochure was designed by RustyLemon Design and has been distributed to schools in Counties Longford, Leitrim, Roscommon, Cavan, Westmeath and Offaly.

The finished brochure details different options available for schools to visit County Longford. Anyone who is interested can pick up a brochure from the Longford Tourism Office or if you wish you may contact Longford Tourism, and it can be sent via post. It is also available from the Maps & Brochures section of Longford.ie
