Landmarks

The Isle of Man boasts over 100 miles of beautiful coastline consisting of sweeping sandy beaches and rugged cliffs. With a mild climate, rolling hills, and an abundance of open spaces and interesting landmarks, the Island is a popular holiday destination for those who love the great outdoors.

Aside from the natural beauty of the Manx countryside and coast, there are plenty of unique landmarks to uncover during your visit to the Island.

As a signal of the Isle of Man’s strong identity and fierce independence, Tynwald Hill is one of the Island’s most distinctive landmarks. A popular tourist destination, the four-tired hill is thought to be made with soil from all of the Island’s 17 ancient parishes.

Another popular landmark worth visiting is the Laxey Wheel – the largest working waterwheel in the world! Standing at over 72 feet high, this extraordinary piece of Victorian engineering is an impressive sight to behold.

Continuing on from Laxey, you can take the Manx Electric Tram to the top of Snaefell. At 621 metres above sea level, Snaefell is the highest point on the Isle of Man and offers breath-taking, panoramic views. On a clear day, you will be rewarded by sight of the seven kingdoms – England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the kingdoms of heaven and the sea.

Dominating the Island’s landscape in the south stands one of Europe’s best preserved medieval castles, Castle Rushen. Similarly, on the west of the Island you’ll find the ancient fortress of Peel Castle on St. Patrick’s Isle.

Some of the Island’s best loved nature spots are also blessed with enchanting landmarks. At Bradda Glen you can take a walk along the tree-lined winding coastal path to Milner's Tower. This monument is dedicated to William Milner in acknowledgement of his charity work to help the poor of Port Erin and the Manx fishermen. And at the enthralling Dhoon Glen stands the Island’s highest waterfall which falls over 40 metres.

You’ll find there’s plenty to discover during your trip to the Isle of Man.
