The original B10 is one of the Isle of Man's finest routes. It started on the B4 at Sandygate Crossroads and headed south, crossing the A3 at Sulby. Continuing south into Sulby Glen, it started to climb up what is still a pretty spectacular road, winding with the river along the narrow valley floor before crossing it and climbing up around hairpin bends onto the open hillside. The route finally came to an end on the B11 at the Bungalow junction below Snaefell.
The whole route was renumbered as part of the A14 before 1963. The A14 continued north to meet the A10 Coast Road, it is not known if the B10 had been extended prior to the renumbering.
The Manx Government Circular 1131 of 25/02/1926 defines this route as: Sandygate to Sulby Glen, thence to Bungalow (SnaeFell)
