Ward & Lock's descriptive and pictorial guide to the Isle of Man ...

168 Guide to the Isle of Man.is gained by the tortuous path a httle above Tliolt-e-Will.From Druidalo, the head of Sulby Glen can bo reached, and,if ho has not already "dono " Sulby, the tourist will do wellto go down the glen from Druidale and join the railway orroad at the mouth.The stream which runs down Ballaugh Glen containssome trout, and affords fair sport after rain, but it suffersconsiderably from the dry weather in the summer months.Any one visiting the island on a fishing ramble, should mostcertainly make Ballaugh his head -quarters, as the riversSulbj', Little London, and Spooyt Vane, with a few minorstreams in the locality, are all within easy walking distance.The scenery in the neighbourhood is most beautiful. Anexcm-siou should be made to Bisliop's Court and the littledell close by, which is thickly wooded by large trees coveredwith ivy to tlieir very tops. The little stream passing throughit should contain trout ; and some varieties of fern attainan immense size there and add much to the beauty of thesecluded httle spot.There is a railway station at Ballaugh, from which pedestrianscan return to Eamsey by train. Vehicles go along theroad past Sulby, by which we returned from Sulby Glen.And so we end our excursion in the north and west of theisland. We have divided them into four lougish walks ; butthose whose time is limited, and who prefer riding, may rollthem into one trip, by driving first to Sulby Glen and walkingup it and down that of Ballaugh, sending on their trapto the hotel at the latter village, and then pushing on toJurby, Kirk Andreas, and Point of Ayre, and returning, viaKirk Bride—in our opinion, too much for one day's excursion.Of course, the route may be reversed, and it can bacut up at the will of the tourist.
