   Things to Do in Longford, Tasmania

   Longford is one of those towns that rewards a slower wander. Its streets are lined with Georgian buildings, old churches and country gardens, while two UNESCO World Heritage convict sites sit just beyond town. Around 20 minutes south of Launceston, Longford is an easy place to spend a few hours or settle in for a quiet weekend. Walk through its historic streets, explore Woolmers and Brickendon, follow the remains of a former Grand Prix circuit and leave enough time for a bakery stop along the way. https://hobartandbeyond.com.au/blog/12-things-to-do-at-longford/ (https://hobartandbeyond.com.au/blog/12-things-to-do-at-longford/)
