A very pleasant walk from Bradda West, parked on the road below the access track. Easy going, fine views, very interesting all the way, but the ******* wind made it a bit of a struggle in places. With Chris.Gill06/12/2021

Coastal path from Fleshwick bayTopographer5730/08/2021
9.7 mile circular from parking place on A36, we followed green lane into Surby then across cut path to Bradda, from here we climbed up to Milner's Tower, which is open to climb up the spiral staircase inside to top. From here we followed the coastal path over Bradda Hill then descended steeply to Fleshwick Bay, then we climbed up very steeply onto Lhiattee Ny Beinnee along ridge to summit cairn then back down to car. After lunch we climbed up onto Cronk Ny Arrey Laa then back down to car. Great views on this full cloud day from Scotland to Wales, from Northern Ireland/Ireland to England. A few people about.DanTrig22/10/2019
2 of 2: Parked at Bradda Glen CP. Clifftop path past the tower. Same way back. Coffee and cake sitting outside at the cafe where a wedding reception was taking place. Weather forecast was bad but reality was sunny and perfect. Rain earlier and later. With Karen.ChrisR18/10/2019
From Fleshwick Bay, about 5 spaces. Path just recently strimmed, but very wet. Good views.iangalbraith14/10/2019
Evening walk up from Port Erin via a stop-off at Bradda Mooar. The coast path between Bradda Mooar and Bradda Head is a little hairy in the wind, squeezed between the fence and the cliff edge and I was glad to reach the crest of Bradda Hill. The cairn here is decent, probably Bronze Age. The August evening rewarded the walk with beautiful light, bringing out the colours of the heather wonderfully. A fine place to come. From the summit the path drops very steeply north (I met a woman and her dog running up it, fair play it would have killed me!). Dropped down to Fleshwick and then headed south back to Port Erin via a stop-off at Cronk Hoew Mooar.thesweetcheat23/08/2019

Up the steep coastal path in very wet and windy conditions.NormanW03/11/2018
7th and final tump of the day on a 32.2km traverse from Peel to Port Erin, climbing Corrins Hill, Raby Moar Hill, Dalby Mountain, South Barrule, Cronk ny Arrey Laa and Lhiatee ny Beinnee continuing very steeply on the coastal bath to a small cove then on a road to ascend very steeply through the bracken ( i was breathing in bracken fumes!) then the gradient lessens as it round a promontory before the final ascent to the top. I recorded 239m @ SC 19426 71145. Continuing on coastal path to coastguard lookout and Milner Tower (climbing to the top in the process). Beautiful views of the Calf of Man en-route. I stopped at the Bradda Glen cafe/restaurant for a coffee and chocolate cake and had a natter with the owner before arriving in Port Erin where i stayed for my 2nd night.Dazingdale17/07/2018

2/7. From Fleshwick Bay.PGCE28/09/2017
Parked on roadside by (NOT on) Tower Road, then took Coastal path to summit. Excellent scenery On way back went via at Milner’s Tower for views over Port Erin. People who know this coast reckon that the coastal scenery gets better, more rocky, as you get onto lower tops, from Cronk ny Arrey Laa, to the Calf Sound.pwheeler13/06/2017

This was a tough little hill done after South Barrule, We drove down to Fleshwick Bay to the car park almost at sea level then ascended the very steep climb to the summit. Geoff (later M6YPYG) and I did this one after South Barrule and before tackling Mull Hill. Geoff and I both slipped while descending.G4OOE24/10/2012
