The Lhen

The hamlet where Ballathona Farm is located offers wonderful coastal and inland walks. A paradise for Bird Watchers and people interested inwild flowers and animals. The Northern Plain of the north west of the Isle of Man was carved out in the ice age and from our farm you can see the Northern Hills and Snaefell Mountain where the ice sheets finished. The natural surrounding beauty also captivated one of the Island's most famous residents, Sir Norman Wisdom, who has a home in the Lhen close to our farm. Ballathona farm enjoys breathtaking sunsets, views of rolling farmland and on a clear day the view continues past the sea to the Mull of Galloway and Luce Bay.

We are lucky to live on this wonderful island and even luckier to live in this secluded part of the north west coast with its unspoilt scenery. Whilst the north west plains enjoy remarkable weather there are the occaisional gales, especially in winter so don’t expect to keep your hat on during the odd rough day. It’s all part of the charm of Ballathona Farm and we hope that when you stay you will be captivated by the Isle of Man and especially Ballathona Farm.
