Ballaglass and Maughold

Map
Ballaglass Glen

This walk offers two options; both entail a walk through a delightful Manx glen and a visit to a curious stone monument, followed by a choice of a return along country roads to the Manx Electric Railway or a breathtaking coastal walk to historic Maughold before joining the electric railway once more.

From Ballaglass Halt on the Manx Electric Railway walk 200 yards down the road to the entrance to Ballaglass Glen. A beautiful glen featuring rock-bedded stream and falls and a tenth century stone circle 'Castle Chowy'. Magnificent rhododendrons early summer. Turn left at the Mill and join the Raad ny Foillan for a three mile walk to Maughold along spectacular cliffs. Maughold village lies to the east of Ramsey and was originally the site of a 7th century Christian monastery. The present parish church dates from 11th and 12th centuries. The graveyard holds the histories of local families, inscribed on its headstones.
