We are a voluntary group dedicated to preserving and promoting our unique heritage in this wonderful walled port town. Youghal was an important administrative and commercial centre in the late Medieval period and up to the 19th century. In earlier times the area was associated with significant monastic settlements such as Molana Abbey which had an international reputation for scholarship. Each year we hold a History Conference over two or three days ( 25th to 27th September 2009) with highest quality speakers, field trips and activities relating to our heritage. Our Photo gallery gives you an idea of our work, our past conferences and our activities. Most of the photos were taken by local photographer Michael Hussey. This year’s Conference is going to be one of the best ever !! The Theme of the Conference is : The Blackwater Valley - Historic Houses and Landscape In addition to the History Conference (25th to 27th September), there is an amount of other activities, including a guided boat trip along the river Blackwater.
