Did You Know?

• •The name is derived from Manx Gaelic, where 'Lhiattee' translates to side or slope and 'ny Beinnee' means 'of the peaks'. This likely refers to its position on the sloping shoulder of the southern massif that leads toward the higher summit of Cronk ny Arrey Laane.
• •The summit sits directly on the Raad ny Foillan (Way of the Gull), the Isle of Man’s 102-mile coastal path, and serves as a significant vantage point for spotting the treacherous tidal races between the mainland and the Kitterland islet.
• •On a day of good visibility, the view extends far beyond the Manx coast; the Mountains of Mourne in Northern Ireland are often visible to the west across the Irish Sea.
• •At 301 metres, it clears the 'mountain' benchmark used by some hikers by a single metre, though missing the 1,000-foot milestone by a mere twelve feet suggests a certain lack of ambition regarding its height.
