Raad ny Foillan Coastal Path

The Raad ny Foillan, Manx Gaelic for ‘The Way of the Gull’, is the Isle of Man’s premier long distance footpath. At almost 160 km / 100 miles in length it provides the perfect opportunity to walk around a complete Nation!

Explore some of the best coastal walking in the British Isles on cliff footpaths, quiet sandy beaches, wooded glens and farmland as you travel through a whole variety of landscapes. Each part of the Island has its own character as you move from one landscape to another in what is sometimes called ‘Britain in miniature’.

The Raad ny Foillan can be split into as many stages as walkers like so as to match their preferences and style of walking - from a 4-day very strenuous challenge right through to a more gently-paced 12-day walk. Download the Raad ny Foillan Coastal Footpath Guide which splits the 100 mile walk into 12 manageable sections. You can also follow the route using Ordnance Survey Maps: https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/route/4370250/Isle-of-Man-Raad-ny-Foillan-Coastal-Footpath

As the path winds its way along the Island’s coastline you will find a wealth of places to go and things to see and do; discover castles, enjoy unexpected encounters with local wildlife, take part in the many activities or explore the beaches you will find along the way.
