Misty Valley is a mist-covered area of Sodor in which Black Loch and Callan Castle are located.[2] Cyril the Fogman lives in a cottage here.[3]
History
Cyril, a resident of the valley, was employed as a fogman until the Fat Controller acquired an electronic foghorn to warn the engines of landslides. The foghorn actually ended up causing a landslide and trouble for Thomas and Toby, until Cyril saved them. Following this, Cyril's position was reinstated.[3]
On their way to the re-opening of Callan Castle, Donald and Douglas got trapped by a landslide here and were rescued by Harvey later that night.[2] In winter, Elizabeth slid down an icy hill and crashed into a snow drift in Misty Valley. Thomas and Terence soon came to her rescue.[4]
When a famous storyteller visited Sodor, Thomas planned to take her to Misty Valley, which was mentioned to be the rumoured home to several magical creatures, but ended up having to take a detour to rescue Percy from a flooded river.[5]
