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. The island is known for its "pocket sized" natural glens.[1]
Many of these glens are to be found in wooded, steep river cuttings, and the Isle of Man has more than 120 glens (in Manx, Glion or Glan).
