ガーフの天然記念物・トップ5

Rough road surface but great view when you get to the top

This road took me into Cornaa and the further down the glen into Port Cornaa. Anytime again.

I fantastic view over Maughold, mountains and sea. A very steep assent leading up to it from Maughold village (Quakers Lane), but worth it.

Probably the highest hill on the island from which you can see breathtaking views.

A peaceful setting and the remains of a neolithic burial site (2000-1600 BC). From here you can see the English Lake District on a clear day.

A beautiful waterfall at Dhoon Glen. A series of steps lead down to this beautiful place from the Dhoon Loop Road. This was a worthy detour for us from the Raad ny Foillan coastal path.

Clagh Ouyr is a 1,808-foot (551-m) hill on the Isle of Man. I highly recommend walking the ridge between Calgh Ouyr and North Barrule. It's wide and undulating with some of the more boggy areas fitted with a boardwalk. Clagh Ouyr is only a stone’s throw from its higher neighbour Snaefell and you can sometimes see the wooden bodied electric railcars snaking up the side of Snaefell from this vantage point.

My favourite hill on the Isle of Man! North Barrule offers stunning views across the whole of the north of the island. It is 1,854 feet (565 m) in height and from this vantage point on a clear day you can see across to Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. From the east North Barrule looks conical, whereas when viewed from the southwest you can appreciate the long undulating ridge that links it to Clagh Ouyr, which reminded me very much of Causey Pike in the Lake District. All in all a beautiful hill to hike.
