Youghal

The picturesque town of Youghal occupies a commanding position at the estuary of the river Blackwater in County Cork, Ireland. The town grew up along a strip of flat land beside the river where there was good access to the water at a defensible site. The earliest settlements in the Youghal area were probably small religious foundations. Just west of the present town is the oratory at Kilcoran which may have been associated with the important monastery at Ardmore, 11km (7 miles) east of Youghal.

gollark: Clearly, things weren't random enough when you tried.
gollark: I ran it through valgrind, but that just complains about the standard library doing evil things in some other bits of the code, and seems to suggest mine is fine.
gollark: On the plus side, this is several hundred times faster.
gollark: My Nim code is binding to a C library, and I can't help but fear that it (my binding code, that is, the C library is fuzzed and whatever) is leaking memory horribly or invoking undefined behavior or something.
