The Dingle Way, 2025



Day 7 (Wednesday, 10 September 2025) – Annascaul (Abhainn an Scail) to Dingle (Daingean Ui Chuis): … Minard Castle, which was badly damaged in 1650 when it was stormed by Oliver Cromwell’s troops. There were no survivors. What has been called the “sheer brutality” of Cromwell’s mid-17th Century conquest of Ireland means that – still today – Oliver Cromwell is the most hated figure in Ireland.
