With Peel behind us, follow the Raad ny Foillan along the clifftop for about a mile, turning inland at Cain’s Strand to soon join the A4 coast road, on to which we turn left – this is still the Raad ny Foillan. Walk along the road with care (keep to the right side) for about 100m before taking the second road on the right (grid ref 267853) walking uphill, crossing a bridge over the old railway line, then through Lhergydhoo farm before arriving at the Switchback road (GR 275851). Cross straight over this on to a public footpath opposite, and continue along this for about 1.5 miles, climbing gently with fine views up the coast and out to sea. At length this track meets the Stockfield road (GR 293855) – turn left and walk along this ridge road for some 2 miles, enjoying scenic hill views and passing keeill Pherick-a-Dromma along the way after a mile or so (just inside a field on the right via a farm gate – easy to miss! – GR 297868).  

Eventually the road turns into a track and ignoring tracks off to the left we descend quite steeply into Glen Mooar, entered through a small gate on the left (GR 307887). Take time to visit the spectacular Spooyt Vane (‘white spout’) nearby, taking care on the steep steps to the right of the path. Back up in the glen, after 100m look out for the ruins of the ancient 9^thcentury ‘Patrick’s chapel’ (‘Keeill Pheric’) – again, easy to walk straight past. Continue walking down through glen along the upper path, eventually taking a sharp right tutrn down a flight of steps, crossing the bridge and up the other side near the tall railway viaduct pillar to join the disused railway track which soon arrives at a minor road. Go straight across this and take the footpath on the left (‘the Tramman Road’ – GR 307894) – as opposed to the right hand path (the old railway line).  

After some 500m, just before meeting the coast road (A4) we turn sharp right down a slope and back onto the old railway track. On this we turn left and through a tunnel under the coast road (GR 311897) and continue a further 700m when the path descends steeply into Glen Wyllin (GR 313905) with facilities (camping, toilets, shop) during the summer. Cross the footbridge near the viaduct pillar and climb the steep steps up the other side. At the top, the path rejoins the old rail track again and after 300m, near the original level crossing gate and a short section of rail, arrives at a road (GR 315907). We turn right along it , soon arriving at the main road (A3) through Kirk Michael village, with a good range of shops. Turn left along the high street, passing the parish church on the left after 300m (GR 317909).  

The church displays a fine Baillie Scott lychgate, and houses many old Celtic and Norse cross slabs inside the church, as well as bishops’ graves in the churchyard to the right. Proceed further along the main road for some 150m before turning right (at a white cottage GR 319909) up a side road, known as the Baltic Road.
