County Galway - Towns

Woodford, which lies 14km south-west of Portumna is a pleasant, peaceful village set among some lovely wooded countryside, with the Slieve Aughty Mountains adding to the beauty of the place. During the last century, however, the peace of these quiet woodlands was shattered as Woodford led the way in the Land War against the landlord system. The Woodford Evictions, which followed, gained world wide attention, thus ensuring eventual victory for the oppressed tenants led by Charles Stewart Parnell and Michael Davitt. The heritage centre at Woodford is always delighted to assist visitors in tracing their ancestors in the east Galway area and many of the church records have now been put on a computer data base.
