Calf Sound

Calf Sound (Manx: yn Cheyllys) is a body of water which separates the Calf of Man island from the mainland of the Isle of Man. The sound - technically a strait - is about 700 metres in width, and contains the small islet of Kitterland (home to a large colony of seals, up to 30 can be seen on Kitterland on occasion).

A visitor centre overlooking the Calf Sound holds multimedia exhibits giving information about the wildlife and history of the area.

There is car parking available and an hourly bus service from Port Erin terminates here.
