Manx National Glens

Manx National Glens is a collective term for a series of glens in the Isle of Man which have been officially designated as tourist attractions. They are maintained by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture. The island is known for its "pocket sized" natural glens.[1]

Many of these glens (in Manx, glion or glan) are to be found in wooded, steep river cuttings.
