Steeped in history and renowned for its glorious, natural beauty, the Isle of Man is regarded as the gem of the Irish Sea. From its intriguing history to its spectacular walks and scenery, this is a landscape known to the Celts and Vikings for over 1000 years and the perfect island escape.
With such breathtaking landscapes, it would be a crime to visit the Isle of Man and not go exploring. Its rugged cliffs, rolling hills, and picturesque glens are just a few reasons why the place is a delight for walking and wildlife enthusiasts. Whether you enjoy a peaceful, relaxing break or an action-packed getaway, the island boasts plenty of sights and activities that lend themselves to all kinds of adventurers.
Walking and hiking
One of the most popular walks on the island starts in the splendid fishing village of Port St Mary and finishes in Port Erin. With cinematic views and plenty of detours through historical villages, this walk along the island's southern coast is a firm favourite, considered one of the best coastal walks in the British Isles; better still it can be enjoyed at a very leisurely pace.
The route takes you through to the rocky Chasms, which are huge crevices in the cliffs, towards the Sound extraordinary where you will be rewarded with views of the Calf of Man.
