Port Erin, Isle of Man is Our Featured Location Port Erin (Manx: Purt Chiarn) is a town in the south of the Isle of Man. Its population is 3,369 according to the 2001 census. The name means either Lord's Port or Iron Port. It is a friendly seaside resort with a harbour. The harbour is home to a University of Liverpool Marine biology department and the remains of a breakwater, destroyed by a storm in 1884. The Marine Biology lab, however, was closed down in 2005 due to funding issues and the building's future is as yet undecided. The beach is sandy and sheltered by two headlands. One, Bradda Head, displays a folly - Milner's Tower. The promenade, which is somewhat higher than the seafront, primarily consists of hotels - mostly built in the Victorian era, although due to decreasing numbers of tourists, many of these are being converted into flats and apartments. The town is famed for its views including spectacular sunsets over Port Erin Bay and Bradda Head as well as frequent glimpses of the Mountains of Mourne in Ireland in the distance. |
