The Corrs live

I am trying to find information about my family history and any possible relatives I may have in Ireland. My great-grandmother emigrated from Ireland, County Cork, in the 1800′s, as a result of the Famine. I’m told that she came from a very small and remote town/village in County Cork, Ireland, province of Munster. Does anyone know what the smallest town/village in County Cork is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Writing a novel in which Britain has been sunk by ice cap melting. Want very small parts to remain above water and need to know the town in Ireland most likely to stay above the water line.


A slideshow of my visit to the beautiful town of Arundel in West Sussex, England. This historic market town is situated on the River Arun and boasts some breathtaking views as you approach it from the surrounding countryside, taking in its famous castle, cathedral and parish church of St Nicholas. I visited the town with my grandad in June last year, (one of many visits I have made during my 36 years). We started by trekking up the very, very steep hill to St Nicholas’ church, a favourite place of mine to always visit. It was built in 1380 and looks out over the town. The churchyard is much like any other English country churchyard, excepting the rather emotive sight of a statue of Christ on the cross with the dramatic backdrop of Arundel Castle in the background. Then onto Arundel Castle, where we lunched in the grounds before entering the Fitzalan Chapel, which can be seen from the interior of St Nicholas’ church, but accessed from the castle grounds (hence a long walk!). The chapel is very fine with exquisite carvings, engravings and brasses. It has a quiet and eerie atmosphere, as befitting its age and function. Oliver Cromwell is said to have stabled his horses in the chapel during the English Civil War, when the Arundel Castle changed hands 3 times. Then we looked around the newly opened Earl’s gardens, which were full of delights for keen gardeners like myself and my grandad (that’s where I get it from.) There were some lovely views looking towards the Cathdral

The story of the Town Below the Ground is one of the most disturbing in the annals of Scottish history. For almost 250 years, Edinburgh was surrounded by a giant defensive wall and, unable to expand its boundaries, it became the most densely populated city in Europe. When buildings could go no higher, people were forced to construct new edifices over the existing structures. An underground slum developed, where subterranean dwellers lived in darkness and abject pove… More >>

I am going to London soon and want to take a side trip to the ocean. I also wanna see a castle. Does anyone know of any castles between London and a place near the ocean?
Thanks for any suggestions!

High stepping: The Irish Day of Dance and Steppingstone’s ‘Get Up Your Irish’ | Max About Town
Courtesy of Steppingstone Theatre “Get Up Your Irish” at Steppingstone Theatre This past Sunday, the Irish Music and Dance Association had its annual Irish Day of Dance at the Landmark Center in St. Paul. Irish dance has enjoyed a terrific revival in the past few years, I suspect thanks, in part, to the phenomenon of Michael Flatley, the Chicago-born step dancer behind such Irish …
