Brief Description:
The Glen is owned by the Isle of Man government and comprises around fifteen acres along the banks of the Crogga River which have a variety of wild flowers, including bluebells in the springtime.
The bay and beach area of sand and rocks is attractive and has derelict buildings overlooking it due to previous commercial attempts to develop the beach as a tourist attraction.
