The Manxman

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then we board the ferry to the Isle of Man*, and on to our hotel in Ramsey for four nights.

Jaunt travelling along the coast by way of Laxey, to Douglas. The capital of the Isle of Man since 1869, Douglas is the island's main commercial centre and home to the legislative buildings of its ancient parliament, Tynwald. The magnificent sweep of Douglas Bay, set against the backdrop of green hills is a sight to behold, and the town centre is home to plenty of shops and little cafés.

We return beneath the peak of Snaefell Mountain - the Isle of Man's highest mountain and the only summit above 2000ft on the island.

Enjoy a day to relax in resort with a day at leisure. Ramsey is the second largest town on the island and is home to many tourist and leisure attractions, plus delightful shops and cafés.

Or, why not join our optional excursion to Peel, which has connections with the island’s rich Celtic, Viking, and maritime past. Try the world-famous Manx Kippers, eat some of the best ice-cream on the island or explore the magnificent ruins of Peel Castle - the choice is yours!

Today we take a heritage-filled tour of the southern parts of the island. We travel to Castletown - the ancient capital of Mann, before heading to Cregneash to visit the Village Folk Museum, a fascinating and unique living museum.

We will also enjoy the views of the Calf of Man - located amidst spectacular scenery, just half-a-mile off the main island and home to around 33 species of seabirds.

Today we board the ferry for our return journey, then return home.
