B47 (Isle of Man)

Near the Surby junction

The B47 is a short route leading out to the pretty Fleshwick Bay near Port Erin at the southern end of the Isle of Man. It starts at a T junction on the A32 in Ballafesson and heads north on Surby Road, winding as it climbs between an assortment of old and new houses. The road to Surby itself continues ahead as the B47 curves around a long lefthander to head east, the route now being a little straighter. A right hand bend then leads out of the village and into open fields, with hills rising steeply to either side. A double bend past a farm leads to a slight crest, and then the sea appears ahead, the route dropping steeply down at the end to the very small car park area just above the beach at the head of the small but picturesque bay.
