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 two Saturdays in June, with transport provided from Douglas to and from the start and finish of each day's walking.
Our first walk on Saturday 15th June takes us 13 miles from Sky Hill on the outskirts of Ramsey over moorland to the flank of Snaefell, crossing the infant Sulby River then passing St Luke's Chapel, before a more gentle section leading to Crosby Village. This is a challenging walk requiring a good level of fitness and appropriate footwear and weatherproof clothing.
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 Crosby to Derby Castle on conclusion of the walk.
