The Calf of Man (Manx: Cholloo) is a small island nature reserve and area of significant interest almost one square mile (2.6 km²) in area, off the south west coast. It is separated from the mainland by a narrow stretch of water called the Sound. The word 'calf' derives from the Old Norse word kalfr which means a small island lying near a larger one.
