Storm Arwen causes "extensive" damage on the IoM

Extensive damage has been caused by Storm Arwen to the Island's forests and glens.

Forestry teams have been out and about assessing the damage after a large number of trees came down, blocking footpaths and mountain bike trails.

The government said much of the damage can be seen in Archallagan, Conrhenny and South Barrule.

Trails in all three have been impacted, but the Archallagan Community trail is worst affected and could take some weeks to fix.

The public are reminded to take care when visiting wooded areas, follow signage, and not to enter newly closed off areas.
