A lovely hike along the Raad Ny Foillan (Long Distance Path) Just below Corrins Tower on Peel Hill at Knockaloe Brooghs you can find these beautiful carvings of happy hikers, which were placed there by the Manx Footpath Conservation Group and brilliantly sculptured by Nick Barlow. This Hiker carving is dedicated to the memory of past footpath members. The plaque on the hikers case has a section of a poem by T.E Brown: “To unlock the treasures of the Island heart; With loving feet to trace each hill and glen, And find the ore that is not for the mart Of commerce: this is all I ask” Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Leave a comment” above or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy – Click on any of the images for a larger view.

This lovely old Manx Tholtan is called Ballarghey 🇮🇲 It sits between Higher & Lower Foxdale behind Lhea Kerrow Farm, I believe it was once lived in by Philip Cain and his family but I am unsure how long ago since it was last inhabited! Access was with kind permission from the land owner. This image has been added to my Manx Tholtans Page which you can access by clicking the above link.
