Glenealy, Hong Kong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glenealy (己連拿利 or 鐵崗) is one of few roads or streets without suffix in Hong Kong. Located in the Mid-levels on the Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, it starts from Ice House Street and goes uphill to Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens, across Robinson Road and ends Hornsey Road and Conduit Road.

It was the short form of a valley Glenealy Ravine (己連拿利谷). The valley separates the Government Hill in the east and Pedder Hill in the west.

Alternatively, the valley was known as Elliot's Vale (義律谷), after Charles Elliot, at the beginning and a road from Robinson Road leading to the house named Glenealy on the site of present Roman Catholic Cathedral is known as Elliot Crescent.

Vale in Elliot's Vale means river valley and a river runs from Victoria Peak down to Central.
