Tours at Youghal Clock Gate Tower

Youghal Clock Gate Tower tours can now be booked in advance by calling 024 20769 or emailing [email protected] For the schools midterm break Saturday 15th February, 2020 to Sunday 23rd of February, 2020 we will open 7 days, first tour at 11am and last tour at 4pm. We look forward to welcoming you to the Clock Gate Tower for an historical experience you will never forget.

Youghal Clock Gate Tower is now a must see “thing to do” on any visit to East Cork. Since 2017 thousands of very satisfied visitors have experienced the storytelling. Just check us out on Trip Advisor to see what they are saying!

Ok, now without giving it all away...a visit to Youghal Clock Gate Tower is by means of a guided tour. Give yourself an hour for the visit in total, but the tour usually takes about 50 minutes..you really won’t see the time flying! (pardon the pun!) There are 4 floors to visit, and each of the floors is set in a different era..each has it’s own story but of course all are connected through time. This tour is different to other tours that you have been on, we guarantee it! Don’t expect a whole load of graphic panels in small print to read! Instead, the sounds and smells of the era will paint the picture! We think we are really clever too in how we use technology..ipads and screens but only to bring this moving story to life!

Floor 4 has proven to be a real highlight for visitors thus far...Youghal native, John McGrath tells his story on screen . It’s amazing to watch the reactions of visitors as they try to hide the wiping away of a tear from their eye as John recalls his life in the Tower. John’s story is captured in a really evocative video lasting just over 5 minutes.
