Shrule, County Mayo
Shrule (Gaelic Sruthair, meaning a river or stream) is a small village, rich in history, in County Mayo, Ireland.
Situated on the N84 main road from Galway to Castlebar, Shrule nestles along the banks of the Black River, between Headford and Ballinrobe. It is only 25km from Galway city on the Mayo side of the boundary between Counties Mayo and Galway.
Approaching it from Galway, the ruins of Shrule Castle - a fortification built by the Norman deBurgo family - dominates the view. The ruin is unsafe and is closed to the public.
