North Ireland Flag
Visit Newmarket, County Cork, Ireland
Co. Cork, Ireland must be one of the most spectacular areas of a beautiful country, and the small market town of Newmarket is one of its typical market towns.Newmarket - or, in the original Irish expression, 4h Trasna - the intersection at the ford, is in the Barony of Duhallow, in the north-west of Co. Cork. Surrounded by Limerick and Kerry, and with the famous Blackwater river drifting close by, brimming with its tasty salmon, it is a section of Ireland that you would be crazy to ignore.
The town of Newmarket itself, with hardly 2, 500 dwellers, befits the adjective 'sleepy' almost as well as anywhere in the country - unless you get to be passing through after an excessively spectacular G.A.A. Victory, when the town's own anthem, Up Up Newmarket, will be heard - they take their sport tremendously seriously here.
Positioned on a valley surrounded by the foothills of the Mulmuaghreirk Mountains, where Fionn (the legendary Finn McCool) chased the wild boar and the stag, Newmarket also has numerous amusing pre-historic locations near it - a cairn, gallauns (boundary stones) and forts. It is, indeed, an area soaked in Irish history; John Philpot Curran was born here and his daughter, Sarah, was the sweetheart of rebel head Robert Emmet. Just outside the town is the splendid Island Wood, home of the Twelve Apostles Tree - it has twelve smaller trunks extending from out of its main trunk. This unfrequented wooded area, with the River Dalua, overflowing with salmon and trout, drifting wonderfully through it, is a justly popular location for solitary contemplation.
The Island Wood in Newmarket, County Cork, in fact, has been incorporated into a 100-mile walk known as the Duhallow Trail, exploring this enchantingly serene part of the globe, and passing though Newmarket itself. Other especially remarkable features of the trail are the charming town of Kanturk and its well-known castle, owned by An Taisce - The National Trust for Ireland and a splendid building. At the adjacent graveyard of Clonfert, there is a poignant, small Celtic cross marking the massed burial site of a lot of victims of the Great Famine.
In Newmarket itself you will get to see the lively James O'Keefe Institute - originally a place of residence built in 1725 for the Aldworth family, a member of which had formed the town a century earlier. it is now a prosperous centre for the local community.
There are no hotels in Newmarket, Co. Cork, although there are numerous fine guesthouses or places doing B&B in the area. K.D.'s Fast Food, has a good respect for the quality of its menu and its breezy aura and there are other areas where you can find good food, such as Marie's Restaurant, on the Main Street. It is undoubtedly a town where you can be sure of a genuine, warm Cork welcome.
Co. Cork has a wide range of fascinating attractions for visitors. The beautiful city of Cork itself is doubtlessly world acclaimed. The safe blue flag beaches of Ballybunnion are close to hand. Blarney Castle and Killarney are just a short drive. And there are wonderfully exotic golf links courses, lakes, hill-sides and lakes.
Situated on the R576, at its junction with the R578, Newmarket, one of Co. Cork's hidden treasures, is worth being part of everyone's agenda when they're in Ireland's south west corner.

English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, who flies the UK flag?
Please don't be angry at me for asking this. My education about the UK is very dismal, though I'd really like to enhance it.
As I just learned (again, sorry), the flag i considered to be the UK flag is really a combination of Scottish, Irish, and England.
Would I be correct in assuming that the English fly the English flag (white with a red cross), the Scottish fly the Scottish flag (blue with white diagonals), the Welsh fly the Welsh flag (green and white with dragon type thing), and the Northern Irelands (sorry, I don't know if I'm supposed to call them Irish!) fly the North Ireland flag (same as English with a crown and hand in the middle)?
If that is indeed correct, who flies the UK flag?
And when creating the UK flag, why was the Welsh flag not incorporated into it, like all of the others?
Again, sorry for being a stupid uneducated American, and please, please don't be angry at me for asking seemingly idiotic questions.
Is it like how in Texas we fly the Texas and American flag, so living in England,you would fly the English and UK flag?
Aurelius, are you a complete idiot?
Did you read it?
Well, when I type up a long detailed question, and you answer "Well certainly not Ireland as it is not part of the UK", it has me doubting your intelligence. And if you had read the details, you would have seen that I, in fact, already knew that, and you would have refrained from answering with such a simple stupid response.
