About Glen Mooar
In the centre of the glen are the remains of 'Cabbal Pherick'. An ancient
and listed monument from the 8th - 10th century. The site consists of
a chapel (Keeill in Manx), burial ground, and priest's cell. Near, but
not in the glen, is White Spout (Spooyt Vane in Manx) waterfall. Clearly
an attraction to the glen and easily seen from it. Also to note are the
many stone pillars, which are the remains of an iron railway viaduct.
The line ran from 1879 to 1968 and spanned the valley. The Road of the
Gull (Raad Ny Foillan in Manx), a long distance footpath runs by this
glen.
