Darry is the castle of House Darry. It is located in the Riverlands. It is half a day's ride south of the Trident.[1] The Darry Castle, though old, is a relatively small castle.[2]
The location of the Darry castle has not been shown by canon published maps. However, its approximate coordinates can be deduced from the text: it is repeated several times that it is close to Harrenhal. It's proximity to a confluence between the Kingsroad and the Trident places it near Lord Harroway's Town.
