PEEL, a market-town and seaport on the west coast of the Isle of Man, 15 miles W.N.W. of Douglas, N. Lat. 54. 14., W. Long. 4. 42. The cathedral of St Germain in the town is now only used as a burying-place; but there is a modern parish church, a Methodist chapel, a grammar-school, and other educational establishments. On a small rocky island, separated from the town by a narrow channel, very shallow at low-water, stands an ancient castle, which occupies a large extent of ground, and contains within its area an old church of St Patrick. The harbour has a pier and a lighthouse; but it is now much neglected. Pop. (1851) 2342.
