Fantastic Thank you, we have recently learnt that James Wood from Wood's Croft was our great great grand father 🥰 Chilly place to live up there!! JANE, JACQUELINE & JOE WOOD.

Back in the day late 60s I used to go to that sweet shop I lived just over the road from it .. and the path your walking down there used to be an old building with no roof just passed the white van you walk pass.. if you carry on down the path does it bring you out at Groves Rd or the sports centre

Had a few hotdogs at the front of the Chalet,when stuck in all day during TT, a few years ago ,maybe 12 or so,A special spot,enjoy all you twos content,ive had over 40 holidays to the Island.

Go on it's an easy climb I used to run up and down there, it's much grassier now as well!

Thank you once again.We are learning about so many new places to explore. I Loved the "Mlk lady" video. I worked with a lovely coleague who lent me the Manx Murders book and seeing you explore the paths was awsome. That one of the last man executed was very good. Very sad but very intersesting. Thanks you two

👍😎

Used to be one of our favourite walks. The small collection of buildings along the beautiful winding stream is so picturesque. The whole valley is glorious. The last time we went, the collapsed walls on the worst damaged buildings were being rebuilt. Two things to be aware of:- Don’t go there in horsefly season, July/august. They will attack in hordes. The other problem is ticks. Check your dogs for them as they too are numerous in tall grass.

Hello Ray I find your video very interesting this is the place where my great great grandmother was born in 1854 . CATHERINE KANEEN daughter of John Kaneen and Margaret Cain , i have been to this place where she was born and found it an interesting place , i met and got permission from the farmer and his wife, to visit the ruin, fascinating place.

I used to love walking through Cringle when I lived on the. IOM for a few yrs. The place looks like the fairies live there. Any chance you are going to visit the ancient burial grounds across the island?

Only just discovered your channel.. Great viewing.. Got to catch up with your other vids <3

Only just found your videos. So interesting. The stove was cast by J Clague & Son. A Google search will tell you about them in the early 20th century

Beautiful vid guys.

I wish the projects every success. The landscape is really beautiful, I wonder if wine would grow well. This is what I would :) to grow. Many greetings from the Harz Mountains in Germany.

Amazing

Great video, such a beautiful landscape. I live in Germany in the Harz Mountains, but I find your landscape simply fascinating. Thank you for your videos Best regards from Germany :)

I walked from Stoney Mountain in October 2022, and it was a slippery but good trek. I really appreciate the info from you both. Keep up the good work 🙌

Thanks for the video you two. I finished reading Manx Murders a few weeks ago and it was very interesting to see the houses and hear your comments.

Thank you - so beautiful. I like to think my great-grandmother, who left the island in about 1840 & emigrated to Australia in 1857, knew about the well which they say has been there since the 5th century in the time of St Maughold. Cheers.

Thank you for these wonderful videos. My ancestry is from Isle of Man (Maughold) though I've never visited and not likely to. Wonderful to learn about the ancestral home. I feel a deep connection. (Great to hear you enjoyed your Reiki experience!)

Great video so imformative, I have walked most of the hills up north over the last 50 years and like you enjoyed the peace and quiet far from the drone of noise from everyday life.

I couldn't catch everything you were saying, so I may have missed you saying what you plant there?

Great video again .. is that track at the beginning the one the come down from windy corner?

Before the chapel was knocked down & the pipeline put in around 2002/03 the only water supply we had to Little London Farm came from a 1inch pipe just below the mill which was free flowing & held down by a big stone. This worked well until the river was in full spurt when it would come adrift, often times we had to wade into the water to replace the hose/pipe (we did have a water purification pump in the house, but this only cleaned the water for one tap in the kitchen) :)

Looking forward to watching your videos in 2024 and even visiting some of the places you have been to (where permitted) in our first full year living on the island. Just got to decide where to visit first!

Sinnon. Sinnan old norse - notice. Care about something. Other meanings usage.

Enjoyed the vid and the one re' Ballacannel Glen Rushen used to wander around there some yrs ago. Things change. Hopefully you'll make more vids of old places there's plenty of old houses about. In the 50s my mother would say " I knew the woman who lived there Ballaleysen Ronague, a few yrs ago the W gable end fell down. Ballaleysen, the place of the son of Lesly. Ballalawson, the place of the son of Law. Law is from the viking period. Another place the walls of which are now down located at the W side of Jurby airport she knew the woman who lived there. Mother was brought up in the farm to the S, West Nappin the Kneals had the farm at the time 1920s + . Seemed odd at the time that she told me that she knew the poeple who lived in an empty house. In case you don't know of: Cecil Mcfee MHK, John Quiliiam - radio in the 60s/70s. I think John was Fred's brother brought up in Ronague. Cecil talked of the tholtan now part of the field wall at Poolvaish. Gahelen Farm John and Sage Kinvig the tholtan had a big spar stone built into the corner wall, some of the small sheds were still standing in the late 90s. 1868 to 1870 survey IOM shows tholtans etc. maps.nls.uk/os/6inch-england-and-wales/isle_of_man.html Sheet X11 is Glen Rushen does show buildings and a spring about where Ballacannel is. Can zoom in/out image.

Lovely video visiting old lost Manx places . lovely banter between you both . Thank you

I loved working near those Tholtans. I remember when I started at Ballamanaugh there was still most of a roof on the upper house. If I remember right where were remains of a building in the field that is between the stream and the bottom of plantation.

its a brutal climb to the top. the views are amazing though. i live in st johns. very friendly village

Stunning thanks for sharing

Nice r elaxing video,travelled to the island for 30 years as a salesman. Only last year after retiring did i get to visit as an actual holiday. Met many nice people at Feltons, Ramsey, Faulkners, Bobby Sadlers, Whittakers, Cuplas, the old Douglas Steam, etc. Usually stayed at the Welbeck, but once at Laxey. Your accents remind me of happier days thanks.

Stunning lived here all my life but rarely saw these wonderful places now back etc won't let me so very grateful this and many more that are sharing thank youx😄

I love these videos. I loved on the island for 2 1/2 yrs until Covid and I really miss the place and people 🙂

My grandad was head gardener at Bishopscourt for 40 years and there used to be a boat on the lake manxsouvenirs.com/Ezra%20the%20gardener/images/boat%20on%20the%20lake%20(Smallwm).jpg

My uncles use to farm at Port Grennagh , the farm above the beach, spent many holidays on the farm in the early 70’s. They sold it and it was turned into a office development,and I guess the land was farmed by other around the area. This reminds me of this ! Still love hearing the Manx accent! I miss being home, after living in the UK for some 25 years!

Enjoyed this walk with you both. Views are incredible.

Another Great interesting and educational video, thank you both

Really enjoyed taking this walk with you which brought back many happy memories. Coincidentally, the last time I walked up there I was in the company of Kenny Barker and Andy Quine around 1977. We took that route and then climbed the steep slope to the top of Slieau Freoaghane. Thanks to you and for Gerrys input to this fascinating story. I knew the Barker family well and spent many happy hours in their home in Kirk Michael. Charlie and Rita were always busy and on the go but always very welcoming when I called round. I feel very fortunate to have known the Barker family and to have so many happy memories of them. I admit, I spend too much time watching stuff on my phone sometimes but this was the best 58 minutes I’ve seen in a very long time. Thanks so much for putting this together and for sharing.

Any books or websites detailing all our Manx mines? Also is the path upto Corrany mines Private? great video btw!

Thank you, Most interesting!!.

After watching some crazy stuff on TH-cam lately, i found this very therapeutic. Have been to the island over 80 times to see customers, but had little time to look round. Had my first holiday there last month, just a few days...popped into Feltons of Ramsey but didnt manage to get to Maughold on way back. Next time....

What country is this? what island please tell me

What country is this? what town

Your channel is very interesting as I've never seen these places and I just live in Ramsey.!!

is Claughbane private property or government owned ?

Wow! Ray, thank you for sharing that beautiful video. My family and I holidayed in Ramsey annually since I was 4 years old in 1950. So may times we'd walked up to the Albert Tower I think my little legs couldn't go any further! Delightful to see the full curve of Ramsey Bay. I recall that my dad used to lead us on a regular pilgrimage to a run down small holding in Glen Aulden, occupied by a rather eccentric guy called I think "Bill Collins", who I suspect he knew from evenings spent in "The Saddle", long after I was put to bed! Happy days and simple pleasures. In later years, after I was married, both my parents and my wife and I had several lovely holidays on the island staying with a lovely lady called Anna Corlett who used to work in Arnolds Store. Sadly, I think the house is gone now, Ballamilghyn Villa up Baldhoon Road. It was quite an imposing sight as you passed through Laxey towards Ramsey. I stumbled upon the link to this video whilst Googling "Mike Quinne - Sunrise over Ramsey", which was tonight's Granada Weather picture! Took me to "Manx Photographers" Facebook Page, thanks to them for allowing "Non Facebookers" to view the lovely photography there.🥰

When was a child in the 60s I went to Kewàigue school and after we had are dinner we would have turns to bring the slops in a bucket to Middle farm for the pigs bring back the 60s 70s 80 s. and possibly the 90s. As I find it hard to live in the hell we live in now rant. Lovely places you go to been to some of them can not beat to get out and about keep up the good work.Geoff

Enjoyed this Vid U 2, Sexy Boots Carla! Did you Get them In JD Sports? Ha ha!!! Nice to have met you in there.

Enjoying the channel guys! We have subscribed in support! We know how hard it can be to produce good content and get your YT off the ground. Going through it ourselves. Keep up the good work!
