The River Robe (ga|Abhainn an Róba) is a river in County Mayo, Ireland.[2] [3] It rises near Ballyhaunis, then flows generally west for 64km (40miles), where it drains into Lough Mask.[1] [4]
The river is the longest tributary of Lough Mask and it drains 320 square kilometres of south Mayo.[1]
The Robe's Environmental Protection Agency River ID is 30_1579.[5]
The Robe rises about five kilometres southwest of Ballyhaunis[6] and follows a meandering path southwest through the townland of Keebagh and Brickens village. It turns gently to the west between Tootagh and Garryduff and continues west between Claremorris and Ballindine. It meanders in serpentine coils beside the R331 road, passing
Taugheen, from where it begins its southwesterly descent to Hollymount. From there, the river winds in broad loops before descending southwestwards into Ballinrobe . The Robe empties into Lough Mask, four kilometres west of Ballinrobe, near Cushlough .[7]
