Manx Glens

Manx Glens began to be developed as tourist attractions from mid 19th century - most of these with the decline in mass tourism passed into the hands of the Manx Government under the collective name Manx National Glens - Colby Glen was acquired for £20, Port Soderick for 25p!.

These National Glens are:

• Glen Mooar
• Glen Wyllin
• Bishop's Court Glen
• Glen Helen
• Tholt-y-Will Glen
• Lhergy Frissel
• Ballure Walk
• Elfin Glen
• Ballaglass Glen
• Dhoon Glen
• Laxey Glen
• Molly Quirk's Glen
• Groudle Glen
• Port Soderick Glen
• Silverdale Glen
• Colby Glen
• Glen Maye

others include

• Glen Roy

to which can be added

• Glen Auldyn and
• Sulby Glen

This set of pages will try to document the history of this process - it will also serve as a convenient excuse to display another facet of Manx scenery
