The incredible Isle of Man is an island escape with a rich Celtic and Viking history, nestling in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland. It is the only entire nation in the world recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere and an isle with an ancient and enthralling 10,000 years of history. Holidaymakers can journey through a landscape studded with ancient monuments, medieval castles, and vintage railways, alongside a rugged coastline, sweeps of beaches, areas of natural beauty and sleepy villages where time has stood still. Its capital, Douglas, boasts a desirable position on a horseshoe bay and has a long esplanade where you can enjoy a horse-drawn tram ride. Perhaps 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 Peel, a must-see fishing village with a pleasant promenade, castle ruins and interesting museums. Finally, we enjoy time in idyllic Port Erin.
