A handful of glens and plantations are still closed following recent storm damage.

Hundreds of trees were toppled as a result of Storm Darragh in December, which saw gusts reach 80mph, leaving homes without power and roads shut.

Further strong winds continued to pummel the island later in the month.

Storm Ewoyn also battered the island in January, making already damaged trees even worse, with wind speeds at the top of Snaefell reaching more than 100mph.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFA) has confirmed that while most areas have reopened, some remain closed or have access restrictions in place due to fallen trees and safety concerns.

Here is the latest list of closures and restricted areas:
