Menlo Castle, Medieval castle ruins near River Corrib in Menlo, Ireland.
The remaining stone walls of Menlo Castle stand on the banks of River Corrib, featuring a four-story structure with square turrets at its eastern end.
The Blake family, recorded as the wealthiest family in Galway in 1592, resided in Menlo Castle from 1600 until a fire destroyed it in 1910.
The annual Maying in Menlo festival brought local villagers to celebrate spring with music and dancing within the castle grounds during the Blake family era.
Visitors need to drive or cycle to reach the castle site, as the road lacks pedestrian paths and contains no directional signs to guide tourists.
The devastating fire of July 26, 1910, claimed the life of Eleanor Blake and two maids, with Eleanor's body remaining undiscovered to this day.
