CASTLETOWN,

PORT MARY & PORT ERIN (FULL DAY) - Dating back to the eleventh century, Castletown is the island's original capital. Castle Rushen, one of the best?preserved medieval castles in Europe and built for a Viking king, still dominates the town today. After some time to explore, we travel to Port St. Mary; situated on the southeast coast, you'll find a pretty, sheltered beach and a busy yachting harbour with vessels regularly coming and going. We finish today with a visit to the glorious Port Erin, which offers superb coastal scenery and fine walks along the beach and cliffs.

LAXEY & RAMSEY

(FULL DAY) - Laxey is home to the world's largest working waterwheel, Lady Isabella, which used to pump water out of the mines. You'll also find local pleasure gardens, and is home to the Manx Electric Railway. We also visit Ramsey, the second-largest town on the island. Set against the magnificent backdrop of the North Barrule Hills, Ramsey boasts an impressive working harbour and one of the most unique recreational spaces on the Isle of Man.

DOUGLAS

(FREE DAY) - The capital of the Isle of Wight, Douglas is home to a beautiful promenade lined with welcoming bars and restaurants, plus a popular traditional high street with plenty to see and do. Why not visit the Manx Museum while you're here? With free entry for all, explore the island's history from prehistoric times to the modern day.
