Kenagh

Welcome to Kenagh.

Kenagh Clock Tower 10 km south of Longford on the L15, the village of Kenagh is dominated by the elegant clock tower erected in memory of the Hon. Lawrence Harman King-Harman who died in 1875. Originally designed in 1878, the clock tower has recently been restored and is now looking better then ever before. Kenagh village is typically Irish in character, its single winding street lined by buildings of varying heights, and representing a number of vernacular architectural styles; stone buildings stand cheek-by-jowl with houses finished with a smooth plaster and brightly painted in the traditional Irish manner. The setting of the village makes it striking and unique. An abundance of trees provide a delightful sylvan backdrop on almost all sides-a legacy from the days when Kenagh was run as an estate village.
