It's been 5 years since our first visit to the Isle of Man, and with so much to see and do, it's time to head back and enjoy more of this wonderful Isle in the Irish Sea. The Isle of Man offers visitors a variety of attractions and experiences. If you missed our first video on the Isle of Man then check out that video here: • Isle of Man: There is more to the Is...
In this video exploring the Isle of Man, we'll begin in our base Castletown and explore the ancient Norse Castle Rushen built in the 13th century. Take a town walk and explore the harbour.
We'll visit a vampire grave in Malew Churchyard and as the rain and wind arrive drive to Fort Island also known as St Michael's Isle.
Our first was cut short with hire car issues and the bad weather but we do manage to make it to Peel for our dinner at the Boatyard. If you like a fishy supper this is well worth watching.
Day 2 in the Isle of Man started with much better weather and we started the day with a visit to the Grove Museum. Positioned just outside Ramsey it's a gorgeous setting and offers a unique glimpse into Victorian and Edwardian life. It was the cherished country home of the Gibb family, and their possessions reveal their story through the decades.
Later we took a ride on the vintage Electric Tramway from Douglas to Laxey where had a wonderful Sunday Roast lunch.
To walk the sizeable meal off, we explored Groudle Glen, which is just a magical part of the Island. One of 18 Glen's you can explore this one was once a popular Victorian tourist attraction with stalls, a narrow gauge railway and a pretty waterwheel. Almost everything is gone now but you can find the waterwheel as you explore and the railway has been reopened to take visitors through the glen with a chug!
We ended our day chasing the sunset and spent the last of the daylight hours at Calf Sound on the southernmost point of the Isle. It was a wonderful way to spend the last moments of our second weekend trip to this fantastic place.
