Ballure is a small hamlet about 0.75 mile southeast ofRamsey on theIsle of Man. A stop on theManx Electric Railway which runs through it is theBallure Halt (or Ballure Glen) station. The latter lies just to the south of the boundary of Ramsey, and thus lies in the ward (and traditional parish) ofMaughold within the current administrative parish (and traditional sheading) ofGarff.
Arthur William Moore reported that there was a sighting of theglashtin orCabbyl-Ushtey, a water-horse of Manx legend at Ballure Glen in 1859.[1]
