Bride (parish)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bride (Manx: Bride), named after St Bridget, is a parish in the Sheading of Ayre and lies in the extreme north of the Isle of Man. The parish lies to the east of Andreas and to the north of Lezayre, bordering the sea to the east. The parish covers an area of about 9 sq miles.
The population, according to the 2006 census, is 418 (2001 408)
The northern coast of Bride is adorned with sandhills crossing the parish from Point Cranstal from which a good view is obtained of the Manx mountains as well as of the Scottish and Cumbrian mountains (with the Solway Firth in between). The Galloway coast is about 18 miles away. At the Point of Ayre is a 100 foot lighthouse. On old maps Point Cranstal is referred to as "Shellack Poynt" and a small village named Cranston is marked close to it, but has long since disappeared.
