COMMUNITY About Destinations

Dhoon Glen

Explore / Isle Of Man / Garff

Dhoon Glen is a wooded valley that follows a stream with a waterfall halfway down the valley, known as the “Big Girl”, and is one of the highest on the Island, falling over 40 metres (130ft) in 2 drops.

A caution is that Dhoon Glen is one of the steepest glens on the Island, with over 190 steps back up to the road, but it still makes this a great dog walking spot, even if for the more energetic.

The beach at Dhoon Glen is an isolated rocky cove with pebbles, and we recommend including it with a visit to the glen, although not spectacular enough to visit for the beach alone.

At the head of the glen, a cafe offers refreshments, and access is by electric tram, bus or car.

If you want more information on the area visit our local Laxey Destination page or our regional Garff Destination page.
