The Monks' Well (Ballasalla)
The Monks' Well (Ballasalla) submitted by TimPrevett : A pleasant surprise whilst exploring one of the Isle of Man's many glens. The Monks' Well is not far from the banks of a river in Silverdale Glen, north west from Ballasalla. It has its own housing, pleasantly presented. Like many of the glens, it has areas of delightful ambience - this certainly added to a twilight walk exploring from our bed and breakfast. (Vote or comment on this photo)
