ロングフォードのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

ロングフォード州で最も高い地点はコーン・ヒル（カーン・クロナフ）で、標高約278メートル（912フィート）です。ここはより広いミーズ地方でも最も高い地点の一つであり、ロングフォード州と隣接する州にまたがる低い尾根の一部を形成しています。 コーン・ヒルは古代から歴史的に重要な場所であり、考古学的な証拠から、かつては儀式や埋葬の目的で使用されていたことが示唆されています。晴れた日には、頂上からはミーズ地方の一部を含む周囲の田園地帯の広大な景色を眺めることができます。

The tranquil waterside village of Cloondara in County Longford overlooks the impressive, stone-cut Richmond Harbour. This is where the Royal Canal meets with the mighty River Shannon having journeyed across Ireland from Dublin – an ideal spot to start or finish an adventure along the Royal Canal Way.

Quinn Bridge is a classic stone bridge across the Royal Canal. It's located around half-a-kilometre east of the impressive Whitworth Aqueduct that carries the canal across the River Inny.

Built between 1814 to 1817 to carry the Royal Canal over the River Inny, the Whitworth Aqueduct is a notable landmark on the Royal Canal Way. It provides superb views across the rolling green countryside around Abbeyshrule.

The Royal Canal Way is Ireland's longest greenway, offering cyclists and hikers a peaceful and flat route to ride or walk. Abbeyshrule is set in classic rolling green countryside and is a good stopping point on the canal. The Rustic Inn provides both rooms and sustenance.

Pake Bridge is one of the many arched stone bridges built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when the Royal Canal was first constructed. Like others along the route, it was designed to let horses tow barges beneath while carts and livestock crossed above. Today it’s a quiet spot to pause, with a bench beside the bridge that makes it perfect for a break.
