Here are four walks based around Laxey. Take an early Manx Electric Railway Tram to Laxey and from there ascend to the summit of Snaefell on the Mountain Railway. With an Ordinance Survey map pinpoint Sulby. Descend down the north western side of the Mountain towards Tholt-y-Will Glen passing through the valley to Sulby village. By walking west from here for about a mile you reach the Wildlife Park.

Or from the summit of Snaefell on the Mountain railway, go south. The six mile walk southwest from Snaefell across to Beinn-y-Phott, and from here down through Bayr Garrow takes you past the Sartfield Farmhouse Restaurant. From here descend to the main Peel to Ramsey road where a bus may be taken.

A less arduous walk descends from the summit of Snaefell back down through Laxey valley past the old mine workings and Laxey Wheel.

Alternatively climb from Laxey to the summit of Snaefell and take the Snaefell Mountain Railway back to Laxey or continue your walk using any of the three alternative routes above.

A further, but strenuous walk, follows the road past the Laxey Wheel through the tiny village of Agneash to a track leading up the Laxey Valley past the old mine workings to its junction with the A18. Cross and ascend Snaefell to the Summit Cafe (seasonal opening linked to Snaefell Mountain Railway operations) for well earned refreshments, From here descend in a northerly direction and pick up the Millennium Way.
