Abstract
In this paper it is argued that the National Glens of the Isle of Man should be regarded as treasured landscape amenities, not necessarily in the sense of formal conservation needs, but instead in terms of popular consciousness. As such, the frequency of use of a landscape amenity may be insufficient indication of its worth to a population in terms of the affective value placed on the landscape. In particular, the affective value of even small areas of amenity landscape may exceed its effective value indicated through usage.
