About the Isle of Man:

The Island is full of all sorts of attractions to interest everyone, and there is an information folder in Chapel Bay Lodge with details of as many as we could include!

There is a veritable wealth of historical and cultural attractions such as the traditional Manx village of Cregneash, the impressive Castle Rushen in Castletown, Peel Castle, the Laxey wheel to name but a very few, all giving an insight to the Island’s unique Manx heritage.  

The Isle of Man boasts an impressive number of museums, varying from the nautical to aviation, to transport and motor museums, with the Manx Museum being the largest in Douglas.  

For sports enthusiasts there are of course the world famous motorcycling races: the TT (Tourist Trophy), Manx Grand Prix and the Southern 100, and then there is mountain biking, cycling, angling, adventure sports, go-karting, sailing, diving, paragliding… the list goes on and on.

There are railways aplenty, including the Manx Electric Railway, the Great Laxey Mine railway, the Groudle Glen Railway, amongst others.  

The Isle of Man is a treasure trove for nature lovers who will find wildlife, flora and fauna in abundance, there are gardens to visit, nature reserves, marine nature reserves, seal spotting from the Sound, boat excursions to the uninhabited Calf of Man, and much more.

It is also walkers paradise with an enormous amount of well marked footpaths and trails, including the challenging Millennium Way, from north to south of the Island, through the middle and for the experienced walker the Raad Ny Foillan, which follows the coast all around the Island.  There are guided walks, glens and hills and much more to explore.

Being an island, there are of course beaches aplenty from isolated, rugged and windswept, to stony coves and wide sandy bays, each with it’s own character and charm.
