Paroisse d'Andreas : idées de séjour, infos pratiques et culturelles

The Lhen Trench between Andreas and Jurby. During the ice-age this was a melt-water channel flowing north to south from the melting ice front. It then largely silted up until it was dug out a couple of hundred years ago in order to drain the curraghs (marshy land) to the south of here. The water now flows (very slowly) northwards and out to sea at the Lhen.
