The town of Woodford Is located in a scenic area of South East County Galway, with the River Shannon on one side and on the other the Slieve Aughty mountains.

Woodford is equidistant from Galway and Limerick, an hour from Shannon airport and three hours from Dublin. There are two golf courses within easy reach of the town, at Curra and Portumna, and there is fishing and boating on the Shannon. The ajoining area is prefect for walking through woods and open moors .

Woodford is well placed for travelling on to the other scenic areas of Galway and Connemara.

Well done to all in Woodford for reintroducing a lost craft of making bloomery iron using bog ore and charcoal, it's the first time in Ireland in almost 250 years.Making history also was Monica Hynes, of the East Galway Family History Society who became the first Irish female smelter in a few centuries at least!

Also well done to Paul Rondelez, Mattie O'Malley, Kevin Keary, Declan Walsh and Brian Keary, Chairperson, East Galway Family History Society for their excellent interviews.
