Sightseeing
• Youghal is on the Ireland’s Ancient East route. It is located 15 mins drive from Midleton. You can visit Youghal Clock Gate Tower which occupies the former site of Trinity Castle – one of the five principal fortifications of the late 14th/15th-century walled. Built in 1777 as a gaol, its story spans seven hundred years of history. Once closed to the public, this iconic building has reopened its doors – this time not as a grim prison, but instead as a place to explore the tales of its fascinating past.
St Mary’s Collegiate Church & Garden
For history buffs, this garden – complete with ancient Graveyard Trail – is a must-see. First appearing on maps in 1590, it's located beneath Youghal's almost 1,000-year-old medieval walls. The church is one of Ireland's most ancient Christian sites, and the oldest church in the country with continuous worship since the 13th century. Home to a monastic settlement of St Declan of Ardmore in the 5th century, it's a peaceful landmark that yields an afternoon's worth of discovery.
Or take a guided tour of Olde Youghal - Take a step back in time to experience historic Youghal with a trained Youghal Tourism Development Guide. This walking tour, which lasts for 90 minutes, takes in the medieval streets of the town, Tyntes Castle, St Mary's Collegiate Church and many more landmarks of interest.

Cobh (formerly Queenstown) is situated on the south coast of Ireland in County Cork. Cobh was the departure point for 2.5 million of the six million Irish people who emigrated to North America between 1848 and 1950. These included Annie Moore and her two brothers – the first immigrants to be processed on Ellis Island in New York. On 11 April 1912 Queenstown was the final port of call for the RMS Titanic as she set out across the Atlantic on her ill-fated maiden voyage. The RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-Boat off the Old Head of Kinsale on May 7, 1915. The survivors were brought to the town of Cobh, and over one hundred victims lie buried in the Old Church Cemetery about a mile north of the town. Famous boxer, entertainer, wrestler and playboy Jack Doyle is also buried in this cemetery.
