The extraordinary Isle of Man nestles in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland. It is the only entire nation in the world recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere and an island with an ancient and compelling 10,000 years of history. Visitors can journey through a landscape rich in ancient monuments, medieval castles, vintage railways, rugged coastline, miles of beaches, areas of natural beauty and sleepy villages where time has stood still. It has many captivating points of interest as well as fun things for visitors to do. The capital, Douglas, boasts an enviable position on a horseshoe bay and has a long esplanade where you can enjoy a horse-drawn tram ride. Don’t miss the town’s elaborate Gaiety Theatre, the jewel in the Manx heritage crown, and the Great Union Camera Obscura, a quirky, Victorian curiosity that has entertained visitors for decades. Uncover ten centuries of history along with the island’s Celtic and Viking heritage at the Manx Museum. We include an exciting trip on the Snaefell Mountain Railway to the summit of the island’s only mountain followed by a visit to Laxey, home of the famous working waterwheel. We also visit Cregneash, a living museum portraying life as a crofter, then enjoy time in idyllic Port Erin.
