The Isle of Man is full of folklore, and one such tale is that some of the little people hide under the Fairy Bridge in Santon. It is considered bad luck to pass over the bridge without acknowledging the fairies known to be there. Some people write little messages and wishes on paper and tie them to the trees next to the bridge. Unfortunately this custom has got a bit out of hand and the place looks rather littered and untidy so there is a move afoot to install a letter box so that people can post their notes tidily.
