[edit] Location
The stop can be found in the parish of Maughold, about halfway between Laxey and Ramsey. It is a few yards away from the previous halt at Ballaglass Glen but has road access unlike the former.
[edit] Facilities
There is a typical Manx Electric Railway style waiting hut here that was refurbished by the Manx Electric Railway Society in 2003 and the station also has a post box, a remnant of the times when the company held the contract for mail collection; this ceased in 1975.
[edit] Glen
The halt serves the glen of the same name which is a short walk from the stopping place; the proximity of the glen is such that this is a popular stopping off place for walkers who can meander through the glen to the nearby beach.
