Overview
From Douglas, we enjoy a journey on the Manx Electric Railway, still operating with Victorian and Edwardian rolling stock. Built betwen 1893 and 1899 the line connects the capital Douglas with Laxey where we disembark.
At Laxey, we join the Snaefell Mountain Railway and journey to the summit. At 621 metres above sea level, Snaefell offers breath-taking, panoramic views where you can catch a glimpse of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the kingdoms of heaven on a clear day!
We continue our day with a visit to Ramsey, the island's second town where we have some free time to explore before returning to Douglas.

Visited most of the island on the various trips on offer, including parts of the TT course. Paul the coach driver was brilliant at parking close to where we needed to be and was very informative on all aspects of the tours.

We really enjoyed our Shearings holiday in the Isle of Man. Whilst the hotel looked tired from the outside it was very clean inside and the food was excellent. What made the holiday even better was our coach driver Paul. He knew everything about the island and shared it with us on our trips out. We would recommend this holiday. Pat & Di.
