About
The Millennium Way was the first long-distance footpath on the Isle of Man created in 1979 as part of the celebration of the Millennium of Tynwald. The route largely follows the historic Via Regia from the northern anchorage at Ramsey to the seat of power at Castletown. We've split the route into 2 full-day walks on on two Saturdays in June, with transport provided from Douglas to and from the start and finish of each day's walking.
This second guided walk on Saturday 29th June takes us about 10 miles from Crosby to Castletown using a mix of quiet country roads and footpaths passing St Marks with stunning views over the South of the Island, before dropping to Silverburn Glen and finishing with a riverside walk into the centre of Castletown and a well-earned drink. This is the gentler section of the Millennium Way but contains no less interest; as ever, dress appropriately for the weather and be ready for some wet and muddy sections.
The cost of the walk includes transport from the car-park at Derby Castle (unlimited free parking) to the start of the walk and return transport from Castletown to Derby Castle on conclusion of the walk.
