YOUGHAL’S HERITAGE TRAIL is part of the East Cork Heritage and Garden Trail and The Trail delves into Youghal’s unique historical past from its origins as a Medieval walled town to its emeregence as a thriving bed of industry and commerce in the 15th and 16th Century and the destruction of many of its finest buildings during The Desmond Rebellion of 1579.
Pictured recently at the Launch of CRY104fm's new Documentary series “Youghal's Heritage Trail- A 17 part Journey” is local Archaelogist Dan Noonan, along with Station Manager Declan Gibbons and The CRY team of Claire Regan and Siobhan Fogarty
The Documentary series follows the existing route of Youghal’s Heritage walk which is a historic guided tour of Youghal’s olde town, the first stop being the site of the exchange dating back to 1672 , Dan then visits such places as The Mall House, The Water Gate, The Clock Gate, Tyntes Castle, Boyles Almshouses, Myrtle Grove , The College Gardens before finishing up at St Mary’s Catholic Church. Each stop offers a fascinating insight into Youghal’s unique and varied history.
Beautifully produced and presented the series can be heard after the 6 O ‘clock news on Community Radio Youghal every evening from Monday to Thursday on the Youghal@5 programme.
