Poll-ny-Chrink

Poll-ny-Chrink (Sudric for The Pool on the Hillside) is a thousand foot-wide lake on Culdee Fell. It is located just before Skarloey Road.

History

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.
