Cranstal (Cronk y Voddee) is a coastal village in the north-eastern part of the Isle of Man, a British Crown Dependency, administratively part of the parish of André. It is located about 10 kilometers from the capital city of Douglas and is known for its tranquil coastal scenery and traditional Isle of Man architecture.
The village borders the Irish Sea and boasts pebble beaches and cliff views. Douglas is easily connected to the northern town of Ramsey by the A2 and the Isle of Man Electric Railway has a station here, making it an important stop on the tourist route around the island.
There is a 19th century stone farmhouse and the ruins of St. Adamantine's Church, and a Manx language and chemical workshop is held each summer. The name of the village is derived from the Manx words "Cronk y Voddee" (meaning "Shepherd's Hollow"), reflecting the historical background of the intermingling of Celtic and Norman cultures.
Visitors can explore the Queen's Scarcet Trail on foot, see puffin rookeries or take part in a traditional fishing boat trip. Neighboring Glenmore Forest offers mountain biking trails and airport birdwatching in winter.
