Ballacollister Road, Baldhoon, Laxey
A Larch and Spruce plantation on the Northern slopes of Glen Roy. Axnfell has a picnic site next to the carpark with beautiful views over the hills. It can be a bit windy though so best bring a thermos flask. This is also a popular stargazing site and one of the 26 named “Dark Skies” […]
Druidale Road, Sulby
A medium sized plantation with others close by. Planted in the 60s with Spruce and Larch. “Manx Glens-a stroll through history” mentions a Mrs Kelly who lived next to it and provided walkers with cream teas. Sadly, she is no longer there, so your nearest café is at the Wildlife Park.
Castletown By-Pass, Castletown
Owned by Castletown Commissioners, the area consists of two low lying fields, separated by traditional Manx sod banks and hawthorn hedges, which attract wildlife. The high water table allows reeds to grow which in turn encourage birds, insects and wildflowers. Dogs must be kept on a lead.
