Castletown Golf Links has been shut since 2007

Demolition work at the former Castletown Golf Links Hotel is due to get underway today. (Monday 2 February)

The Department of Infrastructure says Fort Island Road will be closed along its full length until 6pm on 2 March.

The site was sold last year by Dandara to Manx BirdLife and Langness Golf Course Limited.

The former hotel lies within a bird sanctuary on Langness and is surrounded by an Area of Special Scientific Interest.

Closed since 2007, the building has fallen into disrepair after redevelopment proposals failed to be progressed.
