Places to visit

Elfin Glen (Glion Valley Cowle) in Ramsey starts at the foot of Lhergy Frissell. It climbs from the Hairpin Bend (on the T.T. motorcycle course as you exit the Town) and climbs very steeply up to the mountain road, to the West of the Albert Tower. It covers about 14 acres and has panoramic views of Ramsey and the whole of the Northern plain to the Point of Ayre, and beyond to Scotland. It is well worth the short climb.

Dhoon Glen (Glion y Dowin) is in the Parish of Maughold and to the north of Laxey. It is the deepest glen on the Island and one of the most beautiful. It is a steep glen with many steps and that needs to be remembered, particularly when it is time for you to return to the top. However, the views are wonderful and is worth the effort.

Silverdale Glen (Glion yn Awin Argid) near Ballasalla (Manx: Manx Balley Sallagh) and starts only 500 yds away from Rushen Abbey. It has a children's playground with swings, slide, water-driven roundabout, boating lake, picnic area, cafe, toilets and car park. Access is by car, bus or steam train and it is also popular with coach trips.

Ballaglass Glen (Glion Valley Glass) in the Parish of Maughold is part of Cornaa Glen. It totals about 17 acres. It has a rock-bedded stream that flows through the wooded glen and the surrounding woods have an abundance of bluebells in springtime. It has easy access from the electric tram, which stops at its top entrance. By car, turn down to Maughold Village at the Hibernia, on the main Laxey to Ramsey road, then turn right down the road marked Cornaa. A large car park is provided at the bottom entrance to the glen.
