The South Barrule (Manx: Baarool Jiass) is the highest hill in the south of the Isle of Man. It has the remains of a fort on its summit, which is traditionally the home of the Manx god of the sea Mannanan beg mac y Leir. The hill is largely surrounded by conifer plantations. On the south western slope of the hill the Cringle Reservoir was formed to supply water to the southern part of the island. South Barrule's ancient name was Warfield or Wardfell. A short, straight footpath links the summit with a small saddle known as the Round Table, through which pass the Bayr ny Skeddan walking route, the A27 Colby to Peel road and the A36 Sloc road. South Barrule is noted for its extensive views from the summit. On clear days, it's possible to make out all four countries of the UK and Ireland at once. Looking south-west lies the Calf of Man, followed by the distant Wicklow Mountains of Ireland. Looking west/north-west, lie the Mourne Mountains and the Glens of Antrim of Northern Ireland. To the north, Snaefell, North Barrule and southern coastline of Scotland are easily visible. To the east, lie the mountains of the Lake District in England. To the south, the northern coastline of Anglesey and more remarkably, on exceptionally clear days, the mountains of Snowdonia and the Great Orme in Wales are all visible. There is also a North Barrule in the Isle of Man. The word Barrule (Manx: Baarool) features in the Manx national anthem, in which the Island is said to be "firm as Barrule".

Ronague (Manx: Eairy Shynnagh or Ronnag) is a tiny hamlet in the south of the Isle of Man, in the parish of Arbory. It consists of an old chapel, several houses and some farms. It lies to the north of the villages of Ballabeg and Colby, west of the hamlet of Grenaby and south of the hill South Barrule. On the A27 road between Ronague and the Round Table is the seemingly magical magnetic hill. A gravity hill, it appears to pull cars uphill when their drive is not engaged (grid reference SC2431773571).

Rushen ( RUUSH-ən; Manx: Rosien) is one of the six sheadings of the Isle of Man. It is located in the south of the island (part of the traditional South Side division) and consists of the three historic parishes of Arbory, Malew and (Kirk Christ) Rushen. Administratively, the sheading of Rushen also includes the town of Castletown and the village districts of Port Erin and Port St Mary. Other settlements in the sheading include Ballabeg, Colby and Ronague (all in the parish of Arbory), Ballasalla, Derbyhaven and St Mark's (all in the parish of Malew), and Cregneash in the parish of Rushen.

Rushen (Manx: Rosien) is a House of Keys constituency in the south of the Isle of Man which incorporates most of the parish of Rushen together with the village districts of Port Erin and Port St Mary. Until 2016 the constituency covered the whole of the sheading of Rushen except for the parish of Malew and the town of Castletown, and elected three MHKs. (Malew was removed from the constituency in 1986.) In 2016 the constituency boundaries were redrawn. This constituency lost the parish of Arbory and a small part of the parish of Rushen and now consists of most of the parish of Rushen, plus the village districts of Port Erin and Port St Mary. It now elects two MHKs.

The Victoria Clock Tower, also referred to as the Queen Victoria Memorial, is a heritage-registered clock tower located in the former mining village of Foxdale, Isle of Man, and is said to have been the first memorial in the British Empire dedicated to the 64-year reign of Queen Victoria.The tower was commissioned and paid for by the Isle of Man Mining Company and stands at the southern end of what was once the Miner's Institute, Foxdale village, facing the mine company's offices. Donated as a gift from the company to the people of Foxdale, when completed in 1901 it was situated in a specially advantageous position, having been so arranged that the clock could be seen from all points of the village in order to provide a much needed standard of time to the inhabitants.

The Foxdale Mines is a collective term for a series of mines and shafts which were situated in a highly mineralised zone on the Isle of Man, running east to west, from Elerslie mine in Crosby to Niarbyl on the coast near Dalby. In the 19th century the mines were widely regarded as amongst the richest ore mines in the British Isles.

Foxdale (; Manx: Forsdal [ˈfɑːstθəl]; Old Norse: Fors-dal – 'waterfall dale or valley') is a village consisting of the districts of Upper and Lower Foxdale on the A3 Castletown to Ramsey Road with the junction of the A24 Foxdale to Braaid road and the A40 The Hope road in the parish of Kirk Patrick in the Isle of Man. The village of Foxdale falls within the sheading of Glenfaba. Politically it is part of the constituency of Glenfaba & Peel and is currently represented in Tynwald and the House of Keys by Ray Harmer MHK and Geoffrey Boot MHK. The village is served by Patrick Parish Commissioners. The village has a heritage centre which is run voluntarily. It was formerly the terminus of the Foxdale Railway.

Foxdale Station (Manx: Stashoon Forsdal) was the southern terminus of the Foxdale Railway in the Isle of Man.

Waterfall (Manx: Yn Eas) (sometimes referred to on timetables as "Waterfalls") was the only intermediate station on the Foxdale Railway on the Isle of Man.

Glen Maye (or Glenmaye, Manx: Glion Muigh or Glion Meay – Luxuriant Glen) is a glen and a small village on the west coast of the Isle of Man, 2+1⁄2 miles (4 km) south of Peel. The village is connected to Peel by a bus service. It is home to the glen of the same name, which is well known for its picturesque waterfall and the sheltered and fern-filled woodland walk through the glen to the small pebble beach on the coast. At the bottom of the glen is the Mona Erin wheelcase, the only visible evidence of the mining that took place here between 1740 and 1870. The glen comprises some 11.5 acres (47,000 m2) situated on either side of the Rushen River (not to be confused with the Silverburn River which is Awin Rosien (Rushen River) in Manx Gaelic), and came into Manx National Heritage ownership in 1960. Glen Maye is one of the officially-listed Manx National Glens. The village is also known for its public house, The Waterfall Hotel, located at the entrance to the glen and near the waterfall itself.

The Foxdale River is a river of the Isle of Man which rises east of the South Barrule and flows 5 km north through Foxdale to join the River Neb at St John's.

Cronk ny Arrey Laa is a hill in the south west of the Isle of Man. It may be confused with a hill of a similar name in the parish of Jurby, further north along the west coast of the island. At 437 m (1,434 ft) it is the second highest hill in this part of the island, after the South Barrule, 2 miles (3 km) to the east. It is in the parish of Rushen, although the boundary with the parish of Patrick is only about 200 metres to the north of its summit.
