Look at the little bridge leading to St. Thomas’s Isle which was once a private boat launch. The property is in disrepair now but what a beautiful place to live!

Milner’s Tower on Bradda Head in Port Erin was built in 1871 by public subscription as a memorial to the benefactor of Port Erin, William Milner, who did much to help the village fishermen and the poor. Milner was a famous safemaker from Liverpool and the unusual shape of the Tower represents a key and a lock.

A lovely walk to the remote Eary Cushlin Hidden on the rugged western coastline just beneath Cronk ny Arrey Laa, is the former home of eccentric recluse Colby Cubbon, who purchased the property hoping to escape the German bombing raids – ironically it was one of only two German bombs that fell on the Island which landed nearby.

Ned Beg’s Cottage at Cregneash. Love the tiny upstairs window under the thatch and you can also make out the shape of the old porch which has now gone. Ned was a fisherman by trade and was considered a guardian and collector of Manx culture, Ned was also a master of the native tongue, and used to compose many songs and hymns in Manx and English.

Standing at the Sound and looking over Kitterland to the Calf of Man on a very cold, bright and beautiful last day of 2020.
