Visuals Unveiled to Explain the View at Bradda Glen - September 2025

These have been provided by the Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann in partnership with local artist John Hancox and Rushen Heritage Trust.

At the official unveiling on Saturday 6th September 2025, current Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann President David Scott said.........

"It's great to work in partnership with John Hancox and the Rushen Heritage Trust to deliver the latest element of the creation of the Bradda Glen Viewing Platform and the refurbishment of the nature trail.

The research and wording for the visuals was done by a team of volunteers from Rushen Heritage Trust, which included Christa Viohl, Susan Woolard, and the Trust's late Chairman, Doreen Moule.

The visuals feature a panoramic illustration of Port Erin Bay, including descriptions of each of the historic and natural landmarks visible from Bradda Glen, such as Collinson's Cafe, St Catherine's Church, the Cosy Nook, Meayll Circle, the Port Erin Marine Laboratory site, the old breakwater, and Milner Tower on Bradda Head.”

He added 

"Already the viewing platform is being well used by the local community, thanks to its greater ease of access and inclusivity to all including those using wheelchairs and families with pushchairs.

These interpretation vinyls are for all local residents and visitors to enjoy and understand the wonderful coastal views.”

Robert Graham Chairman of Rushen Heritage Trust said 

"Thanks to Rotary, we have had the opportunity to help visitors and local residents understand more about the views and stories behind some local landmarks through these stunning visual panels at the Bradda Glen Viewing Platform".
