Durrow (Darú in Irish) (meaning 'plain of the oaks') is a small rural village in County Offaly, Ireland. Durrow is located on the N52 off the N6 road between Kilbeggan (in County Westmeath) and Tullamore (in County Offaly).
Durrow Abbey, surrounded by woods, is one of Ireland's most important early christian monasteries. Many mistakenly refer to County Laois as the location of this abbey as there is a larger town called Durrow in this county.
