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.
St Luke's Church & Injebreck
10am – 1pm, 13th September 2025 & 22nd February 2026
This walk starts from St Luke's church, the highest on the island, with spectacular views of West Baldwin valley, and Colden and Carraghan hills. The walk includes a visit to the ancient site of the Manx Parliament in the form of a stone circle known as Killabane. The site was believed to have been last used as the site of Tynwald in 1428. We will walk down into the valley between Colden and Carraghan and alongside the reservoir which was created in 1905.
