The Isle of Man is another country, almost literally, with its own government, currency, stamps and language. A short break on the Isle of Man is like a trip back in time, where steam railways puff their way through picturesque glens and hillsides to the coast and the glittering Irish Sea.
Victorian horse-drawn trams still carry visitors around the capital, Douglas, and the Snaefell Mountain Railways chugs its way to the highest point in the island. From here, the locals say you can see every kingdom: England, Ireland, Scotland, Walls, Mann, Heaven and the sea.
The peace and quiet of the Isle of Man changes to the throb of the famous TT motorcycle races in late May and early June, where riders throw their bikes around the bends on the island's roads at daredevil speeds. Be sure to book your Isle of Man accommodation well in advance if you want to catch these famous races. |
Walkers will love the miles of coastline and mountain trails, and all Isle of Man bed and breakfasts are well sued to fuelling both walkers and mountain bikers with hearty breakfasts before a spectacular day of fresh air and scenery. Isle of Man golf holidays are a breath of fresh air, with eight courses to choose from, combined with mild winter weather for year-round bunker action! With so much stunning coastline, it's little wonder that water sports such as diving and sailing are popular; just ask your Douglas hotel concierge for details of day trips or boat hire.
