Visit Isle of Man

Set in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man offers stunning scenery, unspoilt beaches and a relaxed pace of life, readily accessible by air or sea from a number of departure points.

Each of the main towns and villages across the island has their own unique features, from the biggest working water wheel in the world, ‘Lady Isabella’, in Laxey on the east coast to the famous kipper curing activities in Peel on the west coast.

Try out all the various modes of transport the island boasts to make your visit a  truly memorable experience .  Why not jump on a steam train to Port Erin and visit the Calf of Man, or enjoy a leisurely trip along Douglas Promenade by horse drawn tram?  Island Explorer tickets offer great value for use on all the scheduled services including the Manx bus service and the electric railway, that will take you to the highest point on the island, Snaefell.

The islands’ cultural heritage is strong with numerous sites of archaeological interest. Most sites come under the care of Manx National Heritage and are easily accessible throughout the island, featuring among them carved stone crosses, prehistoric sites and Viking burial sites.

The Manx Parliament, Tynwald, is the worlds’ oldest continuous parliament with the ancient site in St Johns well worth a visit, followed perhaps by some high quality retail therapy at the nearby Tynwald Mills.
