Youghal

Youghal (pronounced {{IPA|}} or {{IPA|}}; Irish Eochaill {{IPA|}}) is a seaport in County Cork, Ireland. Youghal is located on the estuary of the River Blackwater, and in the past was militarily and economically important. Being built on the edge of a steep riverbank, the town has a distinctive long and narrow layout. The name of the town derives from the yew woods (Eochaill) which were once plentiful in the area. As of the 1996 census, the population was 5,630.
