The village is connected to Peel by a bus service.

At the bottom of the glen is the Mona Erin wheelcase, the only visible evidence of the mining that took place here between 1740 and 1870. The glen comprises some situated on either side of the Rushen River (not to be confused with the Silverburn River which is ''Awin Rosien'' (Rushen River) in Manx Gaelic), and came into Manx National Heritage ownership in 1960. Glen Maye is one of the officially-listed Manx National Glens. The village is also known for its public house, The Waterfall Hotel, located at the entrance to the glen and near the waterfall itself.
