Curragh Kiondroghad - Onchan Wetlands, sponsored by Flutter International
'Curragh Kiondroghad' in Manx Gaelic or Onchan Wetlands in English, this site was previously a mill pond. Now natural succession has turned it into the green lungs of Onchan, a small haven for wildlife in this otherwise urban landscape.
For 2026, our community work at Onchan Wetlands is kindly sponsored by local company Flutter International.
