River Glass, Isle of Man

River Glass, Isle of Man

The River Glass is a river on the Isle of Man. The river begins in the area of Injebreck about 10 km north of Douglas, the Island's capital. Flowing down through the West Baldwin Valley, the river joins the River Dhoo on the outskirts of Douglas before flowing out to sea. The Dhoo and the Glass converge to form the River Douglas which gives Douglas its name. The river has a length of appr. 8.5 km.

The name Glass originates from the word for "green" in Manx.

The western edge of the parish of Onchan is formed by the path of the Glass.
