Lismire is a small agricultural village near Newmarket in north Cork, close to the Cork-Limerick border. It's upland country — the Mullaghareirk Mountains are visible to the north. The village itself is minimal: a church and scattered rural houses.
Newmarket is 8km east with services. The road north crosses into Limerick territory quickly. There's nothing to visit here specifically, but the mountain drives through this area are genuinely quiet and worth doing if you're between Newmarket and Abbeyfeale.
