Walk in the Footsteps of Archibald Knox – Garwick, St Adamnan's Church & Clay Head

Type:Walk

Walk in the Footsteps of Archibald Knox – Garwick, St Adamnan's Church & Clay Head

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.

Garwick, St Adamnan's Church & Clay Head

10am – 1pm, 4th July 2025 & 4th January 2026

This walk starts on a single-track road through unspoiled countryside, to an ancient church, through a nature reserve to the coastal footpath and from Clay Head magnificent views of the Manx hills, Laxey and Garwick. St Adamnan's has some outstanding examples of Celtic/Viking crosses and the church itself is a gem, a fine example of a country church.
