About
Grading: Leisurely
Distance: 11 km / 6.75 miles
Start & Finish: Santon Station
Hop off the Steam Train at Santon Station to take in the sights of a sandy hidden cove leading to a section of the Raad ny Follian, the coastal footpath and a little known glen which blooms in spring.
As you walk down the quiet lane to Port Grenaugh you start to appreciate how peaceful and hidden the cove is. From the cove the route takes you through a delightful glen running alongside Arragon House. This section of the walk is most colourful in spring when the glen and lanes are awash with wildflowers and daffodils. You'll then join part of the Raad Ny Foillan, the coastal footpath passing Manx farmland and Cronk ny Merriu, a Celtic Iron age fort. The section along the coast is an ideal opportunity to spot sea-birds including choughs and cormorants.
