Calf Sound and the Calf of Man beyond, at the Isle of Man

Calf of Man

Calf of Man is an island of 618 acres (almost 1 square mile), off the southwest coast of the Isle of Man, from which main island it is separated by a narrow stretch of water called the Calf Sound.

Like the nearby rocky islets of Chicken Rock and Kitterland, the Calf of Man is part of the parish of Rushen.

The island has just two seasonal inhabitants. It is possible to reach the Calf of Man by boat from both Port Erin and Port St Mary. Cow Harbour and South Harbour are the main landing places. The highest part of the island is to the west where an unnamed peak reaches 415 feet above sea level. (Read more)
