Ballafayle Maughold

Posted on by Peter Killey

Looking towards Maughold Head from Reayrt Chalse (Charlie’s View) at Ballafayle. These two bronze sculptured Ravens are erected high above Ballafayle in memory of the late Sir Charles Kerruish (1917 – 2003). Sir Charles was a well known politician and former Speaker of the House of Keys. What a beautiful and peaceful place this is to visit.

Rest and be Thankful – Maughold

Posted on by Peter Killey

Formerly the Slieu Lewaigue Hotel, this hotel was first opened in the 1880’s and demolished by fire in 1896, this lovely property is now in private ownership. It was called the Rest and be Thankful because in the days of coach and horses, the pub going passengers would be let out at the bottom of the hill and were required to walk up at their own pace as the horses went on ahead.

Cashtal yn Ard (The Castle of the Heights)

Posted on by Peter Killey

Cashtal yn Ard is one of the best ancient monuments on the Isle of Man. It is one of three Neolithic tombs, dating from about 2000 BC. It is well preserved and one of the largest of its kind in the British Isles. The monument was originally a megalithic chambered Cairn holding five chambers and extending over 130 feet long. Sites of this type were used as communal burial places for Neolithic chieftains and their families.

The Gruseleck – Dhoon Corner TT 2015

Posted on by Peter Killey

The Gruseleck have become synonymous with the Dhoon Corner where they have set up camp during the TT festival since 1981. Sadly one of the members Michael Pfeiffer of the Gruseleck passed away last year but a bench has been placed in his memory in the nearby Arboretum by a neighbour of the Dhoon.
