Excursions Included :

Visit the Calf of Mann, a wildlife sanctuary and nature reserve, where you may spot seals basking in the sunshine and colonies of nesting seabirds whilst enjoying refreshment at the excellent café.
- We head back to Douglas via Castletown, once the ancient capital of Mann.

- It’s the only electric mountain railway in the British Isles which climbs 2,036ft from Laxey to the summit of Snaefell Mountain. The 4 miles of line, with gradients of 1 in 12, was constructed within seven months, and opened on 21 August 1895.
