GLENMEAY, or Glenmoy, a hamlet and a narrow vale in Kirkpatrick parish, Isle of Man. The hamlet stands in the vale, near the coast, 3 miles S by W of Peel; and has a post office under Donglas, Isle of Man. The vale is a continuation of Glen-Rushen: curves round Corrans hill to the sea; abounds in sylvan beauty; and is traversed by a stream which makes a fine fall of 30 feet.
