Bayr ny Skeddan
Bayr ny Skeddan (Manx Gaelic for "The Herring Road") is a walking route in the Isle of Man between the towns of Castletown (Balley Chashtal) and Peel (Purt ny h-Inshey).[1] It is about 14 miles (23 km) long, and reaches a maximum height of about 150 metres (490 ft) at the Round Table below South Barrule.
From Castletown, about the first 3 miles (4.8 km) of the route coincides with that of the Millennium Way, in a northerly direction through Ballasalla and Silverdale Glen. At GR274725 the route turns northwest in the direction of the South Barrule, reaching the Round Table after about another 3 miles (4.8 km). The path continues north downhill through Glen Mooar to the hamlet of Glenmaye and along the cliff top to Peel.
