The amazing Isle of Man is an island escape nestling in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland. It is the only entire nation in the world recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere and an island with an ancient and enthralling 10,000 years of history. Holidaymakers can journey through a landscape rich in ancient monuments, medieval castles, vintage railways, rugged coastline, sweeps of beaches, areas of natural beauty and sleepy villages where time has stood still. It has many fascinating points of interest as well as fun things for visitors to do. Its capital, Douglas, boasts a desirable position on a horseshoe bay and has a long esplanade where you can enjoy a horse-drawn tram ride. Don’t miss the town’s elaborate Gaiety Theatre, the jewel in the Manx heritage crown, and the Great Union Camera Obscura, a quirky, Victorian curiosity that has entertained tourists for decades. Perhaps uncover ten centuries of history along with the island’s Celtic and Viking heritage at the Manx Museum. We include an exciting trip on the Snaefell Mountain Railway to the summit of the island’s only mountain followed by a visit to Laxey, home of the famous working waterwheel. We also visit Cregneash, a living museum portraying life as a crofter, then enjoy time in idyllic Port Erin.
