Bit of a hidden treasure that one.
People go off to Ardmore and thereās fuck all to do there except look at a cliff.
Stunning beach in Ardmore.
Youghal has a lot more to offer alright.
Youghal has the most single mothers per capita in Europe, or at least thatās what one of the lads told me when we were on the piss down there.
He also said he was father to most of them
Youghal was the place to be in the 80s, P+P in Claycastle, Perks on the seafront with the giant arcade, the dog track where youād follow JBM to the bookie and put 50p on his selection with the tote, halcyon days
When did the train stop? The locals blamed that for the death of the town
I thought it was a lovely town when I visitedā¦
Long long before my time, I never recall the train going past Cobh, sometime in the 60s Iād say
The train still goes to Midleton I thought
Dungarvans success is after damaging Youghals tourism sector immensely.
Thatās a recent thing, the Midleton station was closed for a long long time but they reopened that line about ten years ago, Iāve never taken it. The Cork-Cobh line has been continuous.
Na thatās Cobh ( was anyway in the 90s)
Itās a pity they ripped up Irelandās rail line.
Just driving through Youghal youād feel it has far more to offer than Dungarvan really but maybe itās the compact nature of Dungarvan that is more appealing.
In saying that Clonea is a fair trek out from the town
Itās 15 years since I spent a few days saucing in youghal but it was a rough enough town. More a harbour town vibe than a touristy coastal spot
Itās the greenway that has done it for Dungarvan. Youghal needs a serious renovation to cater for middle class Ireland that want cappuchinos and cocktails.
Just finishing a week in the Garryvoe. There is no beach when the tide comes in and fuck all of a beach when the tide goes out. The grub is good though.
Youghal is a shithole. What in godās name is there to do there these days?
Cobh and Midleton >>>>>
Where would people in Garryvoe drink? The Cave was always empty when I went for food in Garryvoe Hotel.
Ladysbridge or
Castlemartyr or ballycotton Iād say. The Cave is more a restaurant now as far as I can see
