Location Map
The Glen
The glen named after the village is well known for its picturesque waterfall and the sheltered and fern-filled woodland walk through the glen to the small pebble beach on the coast.
The glen comprises some 11.5 acres (47,000 m2) situated on either side of the Rushen River, and came into Manx National Heritage ownership in 1960.
Waterfall Hotel
The village is also known for its public house, 'The Waterfall Hotel', located near the entrance to the glen.
Opposite the hotel was a cafe that burnt down.
Mining
Part way along the glen and adjacent to the end of Shore Road is the Mona-Erin wheelcase, the only visible evidence of the mining that took place here between 1740 and 1870.
