Manx National Glens
Manx National Glens is a collective term for a series of glens in the Isle of Man. The island country is known for its natural environment and 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).

All glens are not wooded, and Glen Crammag running northwards from the B10 road into Sulby Reservoir at Crammag is an example of this. To date, no name was found for the neighbour glen of Glen Crammag which runs from the Brandywell Corner down into Sulby Reservoir. This is also treeless.
The names of some well-known glens are not known to many Manx residents. So the glen where the Fairy Bridge is located on the main A5 road to Isle of Man Airport and the island's south. This is Ballalonna Glen which is named after the closest farmhouse.
Friends
The friends of the glens is an informal volunteer organisation dedicated to promoting the Manx glens.[2]
