All About Longford
Two hours north of Tasmania’s capital Hobart, sits Longford, a historic town with an impressive park at its centre. Longford wears its history on its sleeve, with grand estates and houses dating back to the early 19th century, considered some of Australia’s best-preserved colonial buildings.
Longford is known, too, for its antique stores and unique shops, many of which are housed in historic buildings. You could spend hours browsing to find treasures, as well as fashion and gifts from local artisans. And when you need a break, you can always pop into one of the cafes for a treat.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Longford
The most pleasant times to be in town are in the spring and autumn when the days are mostly sunny and there is less rain. The Blessing of the Harvest Festival occurs every March to give thanks for the land and the harvest it produces, and involves a grand parade along the main street with floats, dancers, and displays. In November, the Festival of the Roses takes place at Woolmers Estate, displaying thousands of roses in bloom. Local makers and producers with market stalls also sell art, jewellery, plants, wine, and food. Summer offers warm days and nights, but Tasmania is renowned for having changeable weather, so it’s a good idea to pack a jacket with your hat and sunscreen. Whenever you decide to visit, you’ll find accommodation in Longford to suit all tastes.
