YOUGHAL
Youghal is a picturesque seaport at the mouth of the Blackwater River
near the Waterford border. One of Ireland’s Heritage Towns, it is
renowned today for its beaches. Youghal once boasted Sir Walter
Raleigh as mayor, and his 15th century home, ‘Myrtle Grove’, is
reputed to be the site of the first planting of a potato in Ireland.
Earlier, the town was a 13th century walled seaport; it still contains
