Port Grenaugh

Port Grenaugh is a bay in the Isle of Man at the end of Glen Grenaugh, Santon and the mouth of an apparently unnamed stream which originates in the Newtown area of the parish by Ballakissack farm.

Close by is Cronk ny Merriu - one of the remains of promontory forts which date back almost 2,000 years.

Famous quotes containing the word port:

    “Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
    It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
    But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
    A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
    Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
    Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
    O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
