Peel Castle

Outstanding natural landscapes | Over 10,000 years of history UNESCO Biosphere Region | Fun-filled outdoor pursuits | Tasty foodie treats

This sea-bound kingdom is a place where the wonders of coastline and countryside, sea and shore, meet within a matter of minutes. It’ s full of colour, contrasts and character as well as rich history, traditions, heritage railways and friendly locals extending the warmest of welcomes.

The capital, Douglas, is the main hub for shopping and entertainment. It’ s also the start of the Story of Mann trail which acts as your guide to the island’ s heritage attractions. Horse-drawn trams“ clip clop” along the two miles of Douglas Promenade and it’ s the boarding point for both the Steam Railway and Manx Electric Railway, which lead south and north respectively.

In Castletown see Castle Rushen, one of Europe’ s best-preserved medieval castles; at Laxey glimpse Lady Isabella, the world’ s largest working waterwheel; idle away time on Peel and Port Erin’ s sandy beaches; and at Ramsey be sure to take a stroll around the impressive working harbour.

Come rain or shine the island is just the place for those who relish outdoor activities and exhilarating adventures. Take to the emerald waters aboard a kayak or standup paddleboard, get your pulse racing with coasteering, opt for a thrilling trike tour, or play a round of golf at a selection of challenging courses.

With some of the best walking in the British Isles, slow your pace and marvel at majestic landscapes from coastal paths, country lanes and within the 18 National Glens.

For a small island, the Isle of Man excels in the quality and variety of its locally produced food and drink – perfect for the foodie in everyone! From handpicked vegetables at local farms and delicious melt-in-the-mouth ice cream, to home-reared Loaghtan lamb and freshly caught queenies, the island’ s produce is key to creating traditional mouthwatering dishes to make your stay memorable.
