Introducing Youghal
The ancient walled seaport of Youghal (Eochaill; pronounced yawl), at the mouth of the River Blackwater, has history coming out of its ears and really makes the most of it.

The town was a hotbed of rebellion against the English in the 16th century, and Oliver Cromwell wintered here in 1649 as he sought to drum up support for his war in England and quell insurgence from the pesky Irish. Youghal was granted to Sir Walter Raleigh during the Elizabethan Plantation of Munster, and he spent brief spells living here in his house, Myrtle Grove.
