Youghal
-
About 30 km (18 miles) east of Cork, Youghal (pronounced “Yawl”) has a great location on both the Atlantic Ocean and the tamer banks of the River Black-water’s estuary. The impressive walls enclosing the town are evidence of its vulnerability to attack from France and Spain – it was once one of the most heavily fortified seaports on the British coast. Queen Elizabeth I bestowed Youghal on Sir Walter Raleigh in gratitude for faithful service. Under Cromwell, however, the town became an English Protestant garrison.
