A flight to the Isle of Man introduces you to Britain’s most unique island, home to the world’s oldest continuous parliament – Tynwald. See history in motion at the world's largest working waterwheel, the Laxey Wheel, or step back in time at Castle Rushen.
Discover the island’s rich past at the House of Manannan, which tells the story of the Isle of Man from the Vikings to today. The island is best explored on its well-maintained network of Victorian railways and trams. Use steam power to transport you from the Manx capital Douglas to Port Erin.
Take a day trip to the Ayres National Nature Reserve and spot wild orchids. Or for panoramic views, take the boat to The Calf of Man for superb birdwatching and sunbathing seals.
The Isle of Man is famous for its creameries – the luxury ice-cream contains more than half cream! Try Manx specialities such as bonnag, a spicy hybrid of scone and fruit cake, or Manx Queenies, small sweet scallops served in delicious garlic butter. Wash it all down with a shot of Manx Spirit, a twice-distilled clear whisky. |
