Welcome to Longford

Longford is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles north-west of the town of Newport and 10 miles east of the city of Shrewsbury. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the 12th-century St. Chad's Church and the Longford Castle ruins.

The village of Longford has a rich history dating back to the Roman era. The area was once home to a Roman fort, which was built to protect the nearby Watling Street, a major Roman road that ran from London to Chester. Today, the remains of the fort can still be seen in the fields surrounding the village. Longford also played an important role in the English Civil War, with the nearby Longford Castle being used as a stronghold by the Royalists.

Despite its small size, Longford is a vibrant and active community. The village is home to a number of local businesses, including a post office, a pub, and a village hall. There are also a number of community groups and organizations, including a gardening club, a history society, and a youth club. Longford is a wonderful place to live or visit, with its beautiful countryside, rich history, and friendly community.
