Isle of Man

Discover the delightful Isle of Man, home to fabulous scenery with enchanting glens and beaches, plus medieval castles and beautiful parks and gardens

Between the coastlines of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales in the middle of the Irish Sea lies the delightful Isle of Man, a unique self-governing kingdom with its own parliament. The island offers a wealth of attractions including the Victorian railway systems and the famous old horse drawn trams. Enjoy the fabulous scenery around the island with enchanting glens and beaches, medieval castles and beautiful parks and gardens. Douglas is the island’s main resort set on a crescent on Douglas Bay.
