The Story Behind Charlton’s Folly. February 26, 2015. Charlton’s Folly – Moat Farrell. A couple of weeks back – at my wife’s suggestion – I shared an image of two horses nuzzling for Valentine’s Day. See I do listen dear🙂. Just as well because it turned out to be a very popular photo with those of you that saw it. Though before she picked out the horses, I had intended to share this image. One that has quite a dramatic love story behind it😉. Now I can’t remember exactly what they did…someth...Anyway th...

All posts by Discovering Longford. The House in Woodville Wood. October 29, 2015. The house in Woodville Wood wasn’t easy to find. In fact on my first visit, I missed it altogether. I had hoped to meet another walker on the Coillte forestry road but I arrived back at my car without seeing anyone. It was only on the drive back to the village of Mullinalaghta that I happened to meet one of the local farmers. Rolling down my window, I flagged him down and asked him about the location of the house. Following...

Abbeyshrule Walkway #3 | Discovering Longford
https://discoveringlongford.wordpress.com/2014/11/19/abbeyshrule-walkway-3
November 19, 2014. A month or so ago, I took my daughter along to the new playground in Abbeyshrule. It was early Autumn and the weather was still quite mild. Warm enough for my daughter to ask for an ice cream anyways🙂. We ventured into the village and found the pub called the Rustic Inn open and the owner kind enough to open up the little bar shop so my daughter could choose an ice cream. Ok ok, so to keep this post short before I lose the concentration of my few readers, I’ll get to the point a...

Edenmore Bog Nature Walk | Discovering Longford
https://discoveringlongford.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/edenmore-bog-nature-walk
Edenmore Bog Nature Walk. January 12, 2015. Hands up whose New Year’s Resolution was to exercise more? Now put your hands back down if you haven’t started yet.🙂. One of my favourite ways to exercise is just by walking. It’s simple to do and doesn’t cost anything. It’s also very enjoyable. Especially in areas of natural beauty. Something that I found to be in abundance in County Longford. There is one more worth knowing about…The Edenmore Bog Nature Walk. The village of Ballinamuck. The walk begins here.
