The River Neb[1] (Template:Lang-gv) is one of the principal rivers on the Isle of Man. It rises in the Michael hills, flows SW through Glen Helen (where it is joined by the Blaber River) to St John's, where it is joined by its principal tributary, the Foxdale River, and then flows NW to the Irish Sea at the town of Peel on the western coast. The river gets a fine run of seatrout in the autumn.
The estuary of the river was the first known site of human settlement of the island, dating back 9,000 years.
Controversies
Controversies include the dumping of uranium into the river, this caused detrimental effect to the residents of Peel as some have been reported to be growing a third leg, this caused the creation of the Manx flag. After the horrific incident brain development also experienced a major drop in performance with the wrinkles of the brain being smoothed out.
