Isle of Man Travel Guide - Overview

Viking and Celtic heritage combine to interesting effect on the charismatic Isle of Man. Numerous attractions reflect the island's rich historic mix, branded by Manx National Heritage as the 'Story of Man', an umbrella name applied to sites ranging from prehistoric tombs to multimedia exhibitions.

Also important are Man’s Victorian narrow-gauge railways: the Steam Railway linking Douglas and Port Erin; the Manx Electric Tramway, running north to Ramsey; and the Snaefell Mountain Railway, which climbs 620m (2,034ft) above sea level from Laxey. A smaller line operates on the cliffs at Groudle Glen.

The island is also famous for hosting the annual TT Races and other motorsport events.

Scenic highlights include 17 picturesque national glens, the south coast bays and Snaefell itself, from which England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales are all visible on a clear day.
