Andreas (parish)

Several early Christian Manx keeills have been recorded throughout the parish although most have been destroyed when their remaining stones were removed for the construction of other buildings during the 19th century.

The most significant inland water feature is the Lhen Trench, which runs for about 7 km north–south, in parallel with the boundary with Jurby.

[9] Andreas parish is part of the Ayre & Michael constituency, which elects two Members to the House of Keys.

Although a large 120 ft bell tower was added in 1860, it was dismantled in 1945 to improve the safety of nearby RAF Andreas.

[13] Cronk y Bing is the site of a nature reserve in Andreas which extends all the way to the north tip of the Isle of Man at the Point of Ayre.

Plants such as marram grass, pyramidal orchid, and sea bindweed dominate the area.
