Bishopscourt glen lies on the A3 just north of Kirk Michael on the famous T.T. course. The Glen was formerly part of the private garden belonging to the Bishops of Sodor and Man who resided at Bishop's Court opposite the glen's entrance. Many features such as the small lakes created from mill ponds were developed by previous Bishops and their families, in particular by Lady Murray, wife of Bishop Murray. At the entrance is an artificial mound named "Mount Aeolus" created by Bishop Hildesley to commemorate Captain Elliott`s victory over the French off the Manx coast on 28th February 1760.
