(3 images in this post) A lovely walk this morning to the magical, mystical, beautiful and truly original Fairy Bridge at Kewaigue in Braddan. My late Dad used to visit this magical place when he was a kid and told me many times about it and how he loved to walk out there with his friends.

(5 images in this post) Strathallen Castle – Port St Mary Strathallen Castle, formerly the Clifton Hotel in Port St Mary and the former home of Ronnie and Mary Aldrich, this fine property was built on a promontory which has superb views of Port St Mary Bay and the rugged cliffs towards the Chasms. 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!

(4 images in this post) Glion Kiark “Glen of the Grouse” This is the site of an old slate quarry workings at the foot of Sartfell Mountain, this building is clearly visible when looking approximately South-East from the TT Course half-way up Barregarrow Hill coming out of Kirk Michael. This quarry originally employed about twenty quarrymen, many of whom were Welsh, who came over to the Island following the closures of quarries in their homeland. It closed in about 1874 due to the poor quality of the slate and the buildings subsequently fell into disrepair. The ruins are those of the blacksmiths shop, stables, a pay office and accommodation for the men. The belfry at the end of building deceptively gives it the appearance of an old church. In fact, the bell which it once housed was used to signal the beginning and ending of the mens work shifts, which ran day and night. The old quarry building is very desolate and quite a hard place to get to it hence me today sending the Drone out there.
