On the way from Edgeworthstown (to the southeast of Longford) to Ballymahon (the N55, going southwest) a short detour can be made, on a side road on the right, to Ardagh, with St Mel's Church (National Monument), said to have been founded by St Patrick.

Ballymahon is picturesquely situated on the River Inny; good fishing.
