Perched on a rocky outcrop along the Dingle Peninsula's southeastern coast, Minard Castle is a hauntingly beautiful 16th-century tower house weathered by centuries of Atlantic storms. The ruins stand as a quiet reminder of Ireland's turbulent past, having been attacked by Cromwellian forces in 1650, yet today it offers a peaceful spot for exploration with stunning views over Kilmurry Bay.
