Inchiquin Lough is the largest of a series of lakes (the others are the Cloonee Loughs) stretching from the Kenmare River estuary down to the Glaninchiquin area, 5 to 6 miles NE of the small town of Lauragh - but much farther by road; perhaps twice that distance [gr]. There are currently only 3 or 4 buildings in Glaninchiquin. Immediately SE of this area, along the border between Maulagowna and Rossard townlands, is a magnificent waterfall - better, I'd say, than the one at Powerscourt. Most of the area around Inchiquin Lough is a Nature Reserve. As Glaninchiquin is an unofficial (and undefined area), you might want to also investigate the adjacent townlands of Cooryeen and Uragh. As for the RC churches, there is one at Lauragh town (Derreen townland) and another in Dawros townland, about 4 miles (by magpie) NNE of Glaninchiquin, on the river estuary - and perhaps 8 or 9 miles by road, but only 5 or 6 if walking the Beara Way.
