A Brief History Of Youghal
The picturesque town of Youghal occupies a
commanding position at the estuary of the river Blackwater. The town grew up
along a strip of flat land beside the river where there was good access to the
water at a defensible site. The earliest settlements in the Youghal area were
probably small religious foundations. Just west of the present town is the
oratory at Kilcoran, which may have been associated with the important monastery
at Ardmore, 11km (7 miles) east of Youghal.
