Self-Guided Walks

Put your best foot forward and experience the beautiful Isle of Man on foot. Whether you’re a keen rambler or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll, here you’ll find a range of self-guided routes to put on your wishlist. Our Family Trails with downloadable maps are also ideal for mini explorers!
There are a number of walks to choose from, searchable by their level of difficulty, length and location. Some of the walks run alongside old railway tracks, through enchanting glens or close by heritage attractions – such as the Great Laxey Wheel or Castle Rushen.
If you’re after something more challenging, our long-distance walks are more than 10 miles each with routes covering both roads and open moorland through scenic countryside.
For the experienced walker, the Raad Ny Foillan coastal walk is a demanding trail that takes you approximately 95 miles around the coast. It is a highly rewarding adventure with fantastic views that vary as you make your way around the Island.
Or, for a self-guided walk with a twist, try geocaching, an activity trail, or cover more ground by hopping on and off the vintage railways with our choice of Railway Rambles.
We hope you have a safe and wonderful experience exploring our self-guided walks, but, if you should encounter any issues on your path, please report this at www.reportaproblem.im. For urgent issues call 01624 850000.
