This is located on Marine Drive, the view here is spectaluar, especailly in Winter as it was when placed to see the savagry of the sea.

Marine drive is a nice road from Douglas Head that used to lead to Port Soderick. There are a couple of other caches in the area along with a Travel Bug Hotel.

• Extensive radar research, development and training of systems and operators took place here
• Manx Radio, broadcasting from the head, was the first licenced independent station in the British Isles
• Marine Drive was a toll road, and the impressive arched gateway was the toll gate
• Evidence of the tramway exists in the landside arch where the overhead cable was attached to the stonework
• The road runs the full length of Marine Drive however is closed to through traffic due to rock instability
• Sections of the 1999 film Waking Ned were filmed on Marine Drive.

This is an easy find and will take you to a very pretty part of the Manx Coastline. Enjoy it.
