Youghal Clock Gate Tower

Youghal Clock Gate Tower is the most visible landmark in the centre of Youghal’s Main Street and since 2017 has become a ‘must see’ visitor attraction in the East Cork region. Built in 1777 as a gaol, this iconic building has opened its doors again, not as a grim prison, but as a place to explore tales from its past. Visit is by way of a guided tour with ‘storytellers’, who bring the unique story of 700 years of history to life, in a one-hour visit, told over four floors. The highlight of the tour is accessing the rooftop platform for stunning views of Youghal Bay. Tickets available online or at Youghal Tourist Office (book online to receive a 10% discount)."
