Activity itinerary

Old Kirk Braddan

  • 20m
We start our storey of the Isle of Man as we come out of Douglas and visit Old Kirk Braddan Church. Here we will see some fine examples of the Island’s collection of remarkable Viking carved stone crosses and a beautiful Celtic design Wheel Headed cross dating from the 9th or 10th Century. Kirk Braddan is one of our oldest, still standing, churches and the main body dates from around 12th century and so there are layers upon layers of fascinating history on this site to explore.

Tynwald Hill

  • 25m
Travelling towards the centre of the island via the famous TT course, we will make our first stop at St. Johns to visit Tynwald Hill. Tynwald is believed to have been established by Norse Viking settlers over a thousand years ago making it the oldest continuous parliament in the world. The hill is now one of the Island’s most Iconic landmarks symbolising Isle of Man’s independence as a self-governing crown dependency. There is a wealth of history to explore in this area including the Royal Chapel, a Giant’s grave, Ballaharra Neolithic Stones and Bunscoill Ghaelgagh our Manx Language Primary School.

Peel

  • 45m
Heading towards the west, we’ll venture to Peel; also known as sunset city, with its stunning backdrop of the ancient Castle, fishing harbour and sandy bay. We can wander through the quaint streets with their tiny fishing cottages or take in the fresh sea air along the promenade with an ice cream or around the castle, keeping a look out for the Atlantic grey seals or our resident bottlenose dolphins, Moonlight and Starlight.

Cregneash

  • 15m
Overlooking the Calf of Man, Cregneash was one of the last strongholds of the Manx language and customs which characterised the traditional crofting way of life. Among the traditional thatched Manx cottages, there is a chance to see two of our favourite and somewhat rare Manx animals, a cat with no tail and the brown Loaghtan Sheep. If visitors want to look inside the Working Folk Museum then they will need to purchase an admission ticket on the day.

The Sound Cafe

  • 25m
Venturing to the Southern tip of the island, we will discover The Sound which overlooks one of the most dangerous sections of water stretching to the Calf of Man, now a nature reserve with abundant wildlife.

Fairy Bridge (Pass by)

Our tour will conclude by returning via Fairy Bridge, where traditionally people say hello to the "Mooinjer Veggey" or Little People! Tour timings allow for travel between points of interest.

Castletown

  • 20m
Lastly we will visit Castletown, the Isle of Man’s ancient capital which is wrapped around what is said to be the best-preserved medieval castle in Europe. With its beautiful square, attractive harbour and steeped in history, this is a gem not to be missed. If visitors want to go inside the Castle then an Admission ticket will need to be purchased on the day.
