Explore Longford

The ideal travel companion to explore County Longford in Ireland. This app is packed with detailed audio points and useful directories full of all the information you’ll ever need to discover the fascinating history and archaeology of Longford town and the wider county.

UNIQUE FEATURES:

>DOWNLOAD FOR FREE – This download is entirely free and gives you unlimited access to the extensive travel guide, mapping function as well as 50 audio points of interest within County Longford. We strongly recommend using a wi-fi connection for the large initial download, but once this download is complete, a wi-fi connection is no longer necessary. This means you don’t have to worry about roaming, as the whole experience can be enjoyed in location, and all offline.

>LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AT THEIR HEART – skilfully and professionally written, with detailed insights from local experts, your audio points allow you to explore the architectural gems of Longford at your own pace. You will discover the true beauty of Longford’s historic buildings and heritage sites, uncover the human stories behind many of these fascinating places, and learn facets of Longford’s history that you simply will not find in other guides.

>TRAVEL GUIDE – Our fully interactive directory provides comprehensive listings in a range of categories from Events, Activities, Walking and Cycling Trails to playgrounds. You will find relevant contact details for each listing as well as your immediate proximity to it. All locations in the directory are viewable and geo-located on the interactive map.

>MAP FUNCTION – We plot all of our tours on an offline map platform, so all of your audio points will be geo-located and available without a web or data connection. There will also be a ‘find me’ feature which will highlight your exact location should you wander. You can also tailor your map to geo-locate all of the relevant locations in your proximity to match your itinerary.

>FAVOURITES FUNCTION – build an itinerary for your day - or for your whole holiday! This can be done for entire tours, or for individual points, as well as for each of the items in the Guide to Longford section. Once ‘starred’, all your favourites will appear on your map, plus information telling you how close you are to each of them!
