As the latest stage in the transformation of the Bradda Glen Viewing Platform a set of visual interpretation panels have been installed on the glass balustrade.
These have been provided by the Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann in partnership with local artist John Hancox and Rushen Heritage Trust.
In 2023, the Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann celebrated the 50th Anniversary of it’s charter being granted.
To mark this the Club delivered a major project to open up disabled access to the views at Bradda Glen in Port Erin through the creation of the Bradda Glen Viewing Platform.

Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann President David Scott said: “It’s great to work in partnership with John Hancox and the Rushen Heritage Trust to deliver the latest element of the creation of the Bradda Glen Viewing Platform and the refurbishment of the nature trail.
“The research and wording for the visuals was done by a team of volunteers from Rushen Heritage Trust, which included Christa Viohl, Susan Woolard, and the Trust’s late Chairman, Doreen Moule.
“The visuals feature a panoramic illustration of Port Erin Bay, including descriptions of each of the historic and natural landmarks visible from Bradda Glen, such as Collinson’s Cafe, St Catherine’s Church, the Cosy Nook, Meayll Circle, the Port Erin Marine Laboratory site, the old breakwater, and Milner Tower on Bradda Head.”
Robert Graham Chairman of Rushen Heritage Trust said: “Thanks to Rotary, we have had the opportunity to help visitors and local residents understand more about the views and stories behind some local landmarks through these stunning visual panels at the Bradda Glen Viewing Platform”.
