Glen Maye

The Isle of Man has lots of little glens running down to the sea which are lovely walks.  We decided to have a look at Glen Maye, remembering that whatever goes down must come up.

Glen Maye features a pretty waterfall.

Eventually we came across some old mine workings with the only remains visible being the base of the water wheel case.

And you pop out onto a little beach.

We had a wander over the rocks, as it was low tide.

Of course, when you visit the beach, you have to build a castle.
