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

Each stop offers a fascinating insight into Youghal’s unique and varied history.
