River on the Isle of Man From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Glass is a river on the Isle of Man. The river begins in the area of Injebreck about 10 km north of Douglas, the Island's capital. Flowing down through the West Baldwin Valley, which was dammed in the 1900s to form West Baldwin Reservoir, the river joins the River Dhoo to form the River Douglas on the outskirts of Douglas before flowing out to sea. The river has a length of approximately 8.5 km.
