Lhergy Frissel Glen - Ramsey, Isle of Man - Public Access Lands on Waymarking.com

Lhergy Frissel Glen is one of the Isle of Man's National Glens. Lhergy Frissell is named after the Frissell family, a branch of the Scottish clan of Frazer.

Lhergy is Manx Gaelic for 'slope'.

This Glen together with Ballaure Walk, Elfin Glen and Claughbane Woods forms a pleasant stretch or woodland on either side of the TT Course to the south of Ramsey. From here a steep path leads up to the Albert Tower, where Prince Albert (Consort of Queen Victoria) viewed the countryside.

Lhery Frissell Glen is separated from Claughbane Woods by Elfin Glen and three areas together provide an important scenic backdrop to the town of Ramsey and an excellent vantage point for the norhern plain. The combined area of the three sites is 26 ha. (64 acres).

The information board/map in the parking area at the Hairpin Bend gives the following warning:
"All paths shown are maintained to provide easy access, but visitors should note that the route is somewhat steep in places." This is an example of Manx understatement and nearly all the paths are very steep and not suitable for disabled access.
