'Barregarrow' (spelled 'Bayr Garroo' in traditional Manx Gaelic) is a crossroads south of the village of Kirk Michael in the Isle of Man. Located between the twelfth and thirteenth milestones on the famous TT course, the crossroads is a landmark on the famous road racing course. The A3 (TT Course) and the C4 (Ballaleigh Road) converge at this point.
The crossroads is the location of a postbox, a traditional red public phone box and one of the first Wesleyan Methodist chapels on the Island. Opposite the chapel is a building used in the past as the chapel hall, a local sunday school, and a metal works. The builing is now home to a seasonal carpentry firm.
The crossroads is closed during the TT fortnight in May/June of each year during practice and racing hours and a similar situation occurs during the August Manx Grand Prix. The crossroads serves as a convenient location for touring riders to retire during races prior to the high speed approach to Kirk Michael village 2 miles further on. The Isle of Man dog warden, a boarding kennels and campsite are located at Cronk Aashen in Barregarrow and serves as a main spectator facility during the motorcycling periods on the Island.
