In addition to the village, the station also served the nearby Glen Wyllin Pleasure Grounds, an area in a nearby valley which was developed in the 1890s as a private undertaking upon the arrival of the railway.
This was once one of the most popular and profitable tourist destinations on the island.
The line passed over the wide valley by means of a lattice girder bridge which was replaced in 1922 by a plate girder construction.
The glen runs down to the sea where there is a long partly sandy beach that stretches along the island's north-western coast.
The glen itself was later purchased and further developed by the Isle of Man Railway to include a boating lake, pedalos, swings slides and other children's attractions; the glen is fondly remembered by generations of local children whose annual Sunday School outing was often a trip on the train to visit the glen.

Between the station and the glen there was a pathway parallel to the running line giving access to the park.
Today the glen is popular with campers and has its own shop and showering facilities though the attractions have long since disappeared.
The distinctive viaduct was demolished in 1975, but the stone-built stanchions remain today as a lasting reminder of the railway's popularity and development of the glen.
