The scenery in the glen of Mullinassig is singularly picturesque. Between the fine woods that beautify the sides of the glen the river flows, passing over a fall and entering a lake below. Several energetic proprietors have exerted themselves for the improvement of agriculture, and the reclamation of the waste lands. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, value £673, in the patronage of the bishop.
