Bradda Hill, Mountain summit in Rushen, Isle of Man.
Description
Bradda Hill is a mountain summit in Rushen on the Isle of Man, rising 233 meters above sea level with steep cliffs that descend toward Fleshwick Bay on the western coast. The landscape combines steep terrain with coastal views in a single prominent formation.
History
The Rotary Club of Rushen & Western Mann established the nature trail network around Bradda Hill in 1973, creating public access to the location. This development formed the foundation for how people visit the site today.
Culture
The hill carries both English and traditional Manx names, known locally as Cronk Vradda, reflecting the island's linguistic heritage. This dual naming shows how two cultures shaped the place over time.
Practical
Access is available via multiple hiking trails, including the Raad ny Foillan coastal path that connects from Port Erin village. Sturdy footwear is recommended since paths can be steep and slippery depending on weather conditions.
