History

The Railway Series

The Culdee Fell Railway skirts past Poll-ny-Chrink. A few years prior to 1987, Lord Harry Barrane presented the area to the Sodor Nature Conservancy Trust as a Wildlife Sanctuary. Here can be found plants, wild-fowl, butterflies etc., which can be seen nowhere else. It has had to be fenced off to discourage the depredations of sheep, rabbits, and deer, but this has been done as unobtrusively as possible.

Trivia

• The name is derived from the manx words "Poyll" (Pool) and "Crink" (Hill), the latter being a variation of the main word "Cronk", a word also found in the Sudric "Cronk-ny-Braaid" (Hill in the Valley).
