Quirky little trail through the top of Douglas full of charm and surprise. Worth the walkthrough. Lit up after dark apparently.

Delightful little glen with little nooks and crannies to adventure. Lights come on after dark and always decked out for the usual annual festives.

Lovely lights perfect night walk. The new attractions make it much better than it previously was. Dates it is open could be better advertised
