Walk in the Footsteps of Archibald Knox – Crosby & Old St Runius Church

Type:Walk

Walk in the Footsteps of Archibald Knox – Crosby & Old St Runius Church

About

The artist and designer, Archibald Knox, was anonymous and elusive, an intensely private man who did not seek to promote himself, but whose soul and creativity live on in his extraordinary art and designs. These walks will take us into the Manx countryside where you can experience for yourself the place that inspired Knox and deepen your understanding of the man himself.

Walking is a sensory way to experience a place and a visceral way to appreciate Knox and his work. As we walk and talk about Knox's life and legacy, there will be time to pause and take in the wonder of the light and the views, that are not that much different now, than as he experienced them.

Crosby and Old St Runius Church

10am-1pm, 19th April 2025 or 2nd November 2025

This walk takes us along the Heritage Railway with views from the floor of the valley of Greeba Mountain and Slieau Whallian. After we have walked up to Archallagan Plantation, there are views across the valley and towards Peel and Douglas of the hills. Old St Runius churchyard is the home of one of Knox's most impressive designs.
