Near Laxey, upper part of Laxey glen - the 1898 tourist guide has "a wooded mountain glen little known to visitors "- at one time a good trout stream - "Glen Roy has been described as the Switzerland of Manxland. There is one drawback. Salmon and sea-trout cannot ascend from the sea because of the pollutions of the Laxey Mining Company. Below the washing-floors the water looks like milk, but fortunately they are not far from the sea. In Glen Roy trout are numerous, and the angler may reasonably expect thirty or forty trout as the result of a day's fishing".
The notice states entrance 3d.
