The Isle of Man’s west coast has a plethora of intriguing attractions, activities, and areas of natural beauty located in close proximity to the course. The west coast has the best of both worlds, close to the action but removed enough that you can appreciate its authentic appeal and charm away from the TT mania.

Peel off your leathers and try cold water bathing at Spooyt Vane waterfall

TTIG at Spooyt Vane waterfall

Spooyt Vane waterfall, located in the west’s Glen Mooar, is a magical Manx beauty spot and a great place to peel off those leathers and try some cold water bathing. Spooyt Vane is Manx Gaelic for ‘White Spout’ and perfectly describes the beautiful waterfall, which is one of the Island’s highest. It’s a tranquil spot for a refreshing cold water dip before you get suited and booted to hop back on your bike.

TT Grandstand to sun, sea and sand
