Explore the Isle of Man Countryside | Visit Isle of Man

Renowned for its ever-changing landscape, beautiful scenery and vivid greenery, the Isle of Man is one of the most scenic places in the British Isles.

With over 40 per cent of the Isle of Man unpopulated and uncultivated, it’s a popular holiday destination for all. Here you can unwind and reconnect with nature surrounded by rolling hills, enchanting glens, and the glorious Manx Countryside.

Did you know that the Isle of Man is the only entire jurisdiction in the world to be awarded status as a UNESCO Biosphere? The Isle of Man has gained this prestigious title in recognition for the way in which the Island’s population exists alongside a plethora of diverse natural habitats.

The Cooill y Ree Gardens in St John’s is another idyllic place to visit. Here you’ll find spectacular views across Tynwald Hill and be rewarded with the opportunity to see butterflies, birds, lizards and bats.

On the Island, you’ll find eighteen national glens – both coastal and mountainous – as well as many forests and plantations to explore. You’ll also find perfectly maintained gardens, woodland walks and tumbling waterfalls in this truly tranquil setting.

You could even stay on a real working farm while you’re here to get even closer to the countryside. Farms on the Isle of Man offer brilliant locations as a base for your holiday. Tucked into secluded corners of the Island's spectacular countryside, members of the Isle of Man Stay on a Farm scheme have grouped together to share their way of life with you by offering superb holiday accommodation and supervised access to their farms, with a willingness to go that extra mile.
