Distance: 11 km / 7 miles
Start: Port St Mary Alfred Pier
Finish: Port Erin Bay
With cinematic views, pass sheer cliffs, historic villages and wonderful wildlife. This walk around the Island's southern coast is a favourite amongst walkers and possibly one of the best coastal walks in the British Isles, which can also be enjoyed at a comfortable pace.
This unforgettable section of the Raad ny Foillan offers tremendous opportunities to see a contrast of scenery as well as marine wildlife. The terrain changes as you leave Port St Mary from grassy footpaths to moorland and cliffs. A short detour will take you to the rocky Chasms or around the Manx Folk Village of Cregneash. Take a refreshing break at the half-way point, Cregneash Tea Rooms or The Sound, where you can spot seals sunbathing on the rocky Kitterland, and enjoy parnoramic views of the Calf of Man.
