The Crossroads

High in the mountains to the south of Peel on the Isle of Man, Round Table is a crossroads and viewpoint sitting below South Barrule Hill. It is the meeting point of the A27 and A36, the former having climbed steeply up from Dalby and Peel on the west coast has to give way to the latter before descending south to Colby. The A36 has a much easier climb around South Barrule from Foxdale but then also plunges steeply downhill to the edge of Port Erin, passing a series of stunning viewpoints along the way.

There are a handful of small parking areas close to the junction, offering walks down hill into the forests that lie nearby, or up to the summit of South Barrule. The junction itself lies in heathery moorland with a mixture of stone walls, earthen banks and wire fences along the verges.
