Welcome to Cow Harbour on the Calf of Man.
This is the landing place on the Calf of Man where farm stock was usually landed, sheep were brought by boat but cattle were usually swum across the Sound to this inlet.

I just love this lovely old thatched cottage in Cregneash Village.
Life must have been so wonderful living in this village in years gone bye and no doubt very hard.

Cregneash Village and that famous Phone Box which used to be painted green.
Who remembers it when it was painted green? Was it for the film Waking Ned Devine?

Magnetic Hill Ronague
“Turn your car engine off and marvel as a magic stone pulls the vehicle uphill. Magnetic Hill is located on the A27 between Ronague and the Round Table crossroads. The slope is marked by this large stone on the roadside verge that is said to be part of a stone circle broken up a hundred years ago by a coven of witches”.
Sorry for the poor quality of the image but it is quite difficult to make out the wording.
