Ha - where do you start?!
m miradorSeveral beautiful coastal glens to walk in from the top down. Dhoon & Glen Mate are probably the best of those but Glen Helen is also very good.
At Peel explore the castle,walk around it and along the coast. Also up along the riverside from the top of the harbour is great.
Calf of Man is magnificent. Take the coast path along to Spanish Head. If you take the bus down to the Calf you can go all the way back to Port St Mary on the path.
Snaefell is a must do. Take the electric railway part or all of the way to suit! Stop at Laxey Wheel on the way. You can climb to the top and there are some nice trails behind it.
Hope that gets you started!
mirador you have said it all, I can't follow that
MiMitchMany thanks Graham. Will keep in mind all your suggestions. Sounds like there's plenty to see and do. Looking forward to it 🙂
KTKath_TYou are welcome! There is an error in my original post - should read Glen Maye. I don't know if you are taking a car over but if not be aware you can get some sort of inclusive weekly ticket to use all the buses, trains and trams to get around - called an Island Explorer I think
m miradorThanks again Graham. That is really useful to know as I'm not taking the car.
KTKath_TSo jealous - my Mum was Manx and I know the Isle well - I agree with Mirador and a run or walk to the end of Bradda Head from Port Erin is beautiful with stunning views and creatures. Definitely visit the Calf. Taking the little train all over is great fun too. Hope you have a fabulous time! 🙂🙂🙂
