'Ronaldsway' is a region in the south of the
Isle of Man, in the vicinity of the towns of
Ballasalla and
Castletown. It is notable as the location of
Ronaldsway Airport (although moves are afoot by airport management to have the airport rebranded as "The Airport, Isle of Man") and historically
RAF Ronaldsway.
Ronaldsway is the site of the
Battle of Ronaldsway in
1275, which saw the Isle of Man transfer from
Norse rule to
Scottish rule.
Ronaldsway is one of the 12
coastal weather stations whose conditions are reported in the
BBC Shipping Forecast.
A
request stop for the
Isle of Man Steam Railway sits behind Ronaldsway Industrial Estate on the
Silverburn river.
