- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Think of the Isle of Man and you probably think of motorcycles and the Isle of Man TT, but there is so much more to this little island in the Irish sea. Join us as we take a weekend break in the Isle of Man and show you some of our favourite things to do in a weekend!

Intro 0:00
0:32 Peel Castle goo.gl/maps/Z3CJim8amSSPV8F8A
A Viking stronghold, Peel Castle stands on St Patrick's Isle, linked to the town of Peel by a causeway. The rugged coastline and the ruins of the castle outer walls make this an interesting stop.
02:00 Niarbyl Bay goo.gl/maps/MLLEUFwf1EbMn2W16
Down a long winding lane, past the cafe and steep hill, you arrive at Niarbyl Bay.
Secluded and quaint, you suddenly feel like a fisherman from years gone by.
03:14 The Calf of Man goo.gl/maps/dwPhrqg77iPdu2Yd9
Calf of Man is a 2.50-square-kilometre island, off the southwest coast. It is separated from the Isle of Man by a narrow stretch of water called the Calf Sound.
There is a cafe and some rugged walking trails too keep you occupied, and on some days you can see the seals basking on the rocks
04:28 Cregneash goo.gl/maps/xJWH3gnwYRrqsq4R6
A small charming village with a tourist museum, seen on map above.
Home to a flock of the rare four-horned Loaghtan sheep, much of the village is made up of a living museum with the small white cottages forming the exhibits. Inside the victorian farming and fishing equipment is displayed and demonstrated.
05:31 Isle of Man Steam Railway goo.gl/maps/ddu3wvHuQPGbWuj46
Starting in Douglas and steaming east to Port Erin via Castletown this narrow gauge railway is a must do attraction. The scenery is stunning and is a superb way to spend an hour or so chugging along the countryside.
07:47 CastleTown goo.gl/maps/zh27uUWgZ6CtJS4B7
CastleTown is the former Capital of Manx, and is home to Rushen Castle. The narrow streets and fishing cottages make this a delightful place to walk around.
It also holds the annual world tinbath championships.
09:41 Ballaglass Glen goo.gl/maps/MNaK7LUhKnoW3ruRA
lovely glen to walk through, a nice wooded area with the river flowing through the middle of it with some fantastic waterfalls, and there’s a fairy house hidden along the river too. Plenty of quirks for kids too like the wizard statue along one of the paths.
11:25 Douglas
11:45 Laxey Wheel and Mine goo.gl/maps/Fptp943rjH6TLJ6z6
Built in 1854 to pump water from the attached mine, Lady Isabella as she is known is the largest surviving wheel of its kind in the world.
14:07 Manx Electric Railway goo.gl/maps/DTvTr9NLPscXgaYX8
Running from Douglas to Ramsey via Laxey this has to be the most picturesque heritage railway (tramway) I have ever been on.
Starting in Laxey and part of the Manx Electric Railway, the
14:29 Snaefell Mountain Railway
offers daily services to the summit.
15:03 Laxey Beach
17:45 Laxey to Ramsey Manx Railway
18:31 Ramsey Harbour
Town on the MANX Electric railway route.

This is the best Documentary that I have ever seen for the Isle Of Man. Very well done
Thank you so much, glad you liked it.
I was there July 2019, when the world was a different place. Magical place. Love to return one day.
It’s a beautiful island with lots to explore! I hope we can all visit again very soon
I can understand why the Bee Gees loved the IOM so much. What a great looking place. Another very nicely put together vlog. Well done.
Not quite sure how long they lived there, I think it was just very early life. It surprised us, wonderful place to visit, so much to do and we probably only covered half of it!
@@MemorySeekers I hope you are able to return at some point. You are right about them living there when they were little but one of them bought houses there when they became famous (might have been Maurice). There is a Bee Gees statue in Douglas which looks pretty cool. Looking forward to your next upload.
yes it was early life for bee gees. but robin Gibb had a house here. not sure if his wife still has it. I saw robin at the villa marina doing a small concert for a children's charity. he did a lovely concert but looked very thin. thinner than normal. I commented to my daughter after the concert saying he didn't look well. he died about 12months after. had the Manx flag on the back of his coffin. we now got a statue on Douglas seafront of the bee gees. looks good.
@@sheilaferguson4358 gib was actually born in there
ok, I'm going to gooooo! Thank you for your wonderful documentary! Great voice and music! I felt like I was there!
Was there in 2000-2001 and stayed in Port Erin....sunset from Peel castle, Laxey wheel, Tynwald, Douglas, Cregneash, charity shops where I visited endlessly, Ramsey, casinos in Douglas, Taj hotel in Douglas, Calf of Man, mountains of Ireland, glens, pebble beach in Point of Aire, all remain still close and dear to my heart....This video brought back so much of fond memories. Thanks for sharing. As such, there are not much videos exploring this cute and quiet island.
Hello, so glad you enjoyed it and have been yourself. Lovely to hear!
@@MemorySeekers Thank you...I enjoy watching your different vlogs!!
I really enjoyed this, so much on our little island to be explored! Hoping we will see tourists again in the not too distant future!
Thanks Hannah we loved our time there and want to come back and film some more to encourage people to visit. How are things in IOM I heard it was pretty good with a small covid blip recently?
this shit real?! wtf lol
Very underrated place - so many stunning glens and sights to see 😍
Indeed, we must go back and see more!
Thanks for sharing the isle of man we don’t get much promotions

Wait I’m from wales in the uk and I found the Isle of Man on google earth it looks cool could u explain the communities and traditions for me please. Any languages? Culture? Religion? Agriculture?
our native language is english. our culture is mannanin the main religions is christion jahova whitness and muslim
@@peyton5533 our native language is Manx but it’s dead now so everyone speaks English
@@Andwo0 oh cool! Ours is welsh and we sometimes speak it but it’s hard to learn so I know hardly any :(
We just recently confirmed that our family is Manx in origin...now I am eagerly searching for everything I can find. Thanks for the video.
Hello, how exciting for you. Where are you from? Glad the video gave you an insight into IOM.
@@MemorySeekers we are from Tennessee.
I've heard many fascinating stories about the Isle of Man all my life, but this is the first time I've seen modern pictures (my only reference was a book about the island, dated 1896) What a magic place - breathtaking to say the least. My great grandmother (Elizabeth Jane Cubbon) was born here, and her family lived in the Cubbon House for many, many generations. I only wish I could visit!
Thank you for posting this video.
After watching this, I am wondering why she emigrated to Ontario, Canada!
Hello Jane what a lovely story about your grandmother. So glad that our trip to the isle has given you some insight into how it is today and what a wonderful place it is.
Jane, your great grandmother would feel right at home even today - the surname of Cubbon is one that is well known on the Island as belonging to one of the old Manx families.
@@MemorySeekers Thank you very much for your message. I delved a bit deeper into my family history, (through Ancestry), and discovered why Elizabeth never returned to the Island she loved. She had eloped at the age of 16 and was told she "had disgraced the family" and was told never to return to the island by her father. Poor girl, and very sad for everyone, isn't it? She did keep in contact with her mother though, who came to see her after the father's death.
@@chryseass.5143 Thank you so much for replying - my dad and my aunt told me she had "second sight"- something that ran in my family, and a trait of the Cubbon family (dad, very definitely).. described as a curse, rather than a gift.
I began my apprentice with a a company on Finch Road in Douglas called J H Cubbon, I was told it was John Henry Cubbon, now I wonder if !!!!!!
I was at the island and visited half of the places mentioned here. Isle Of Man is surely a paradise and such peaceful place to ever be at. Would love to go there again.
Yeah we need to go back and film the other half we missed so much to do there, like you just waiting for that opportunity to do it again 😊
1979 to 1986. Spent those years visiting the IOM to take in the TT's. Zooming around on our bike enjoying every minute. We said we ought to go back some day and have a proper time having a look around at all of the things we missed while we were over there. So in 4 weeks time after a 36 year break we will be back for a week. 😊😊 Bit older and wiser and a great deal slower lol. Enjoyed this video a lot, thank you.
Ah how wonderful, a week is a good amount of time. We only had a weekend and could not see it all. Have a great time!
I remember being at this tin baths it was incredible but yes I love these sorts of videos and it’s so cool to see all the parts of the island I haven’t seen before but I’ve seen most as I’ve lived here all my life
We were so lucky to see the tin bath competition such a great day out IOM!
@@MemorySeekers thanks for completing the Isle of Man it’s a great place! Maybe come visit again?
Have too, only covered half the isle in a weekend! So much more to see. Plus i want to ride the train again loved it! 😊
@@MemorySeekers yeah it’s a great place
Loved this tour of the Isle of Man, l have lived in Western Australia since1968, last time in the UK was 2016. Since COVID and not being able to travel l find these videos so good. Originally from Liverpool then living in Weaverham in Cheshire and having family in Hampshire it’s the next best thing. Love your style and look forward to many more trips.🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
Ahh lovely to hear from you in Australia, glad you enjoyed the tour. Hope you can travel again real soon! Thanks for following our adventures. 😊
Ja, ich auch!!! Das ist ja super schön. Da hängt natürlich das Herz der Bee gees für immer.
Ein wunderbares Zuhause .
Danke, daß ihr es aufgenommen habt um uns zu verwöhnen.💖💖👍
This Island is both beautiful and dramatic. Outstanding beauty. Must definitely visit.
Hope you make it for a trip!
Gail Crellin joking at her hole in Onchan is a must see!!
This video is very professional and with excellent narration....impressive if you are just general travellers.
Thank you so much means a lot to hear that! ☺️
Great video. I have been lucky enough to visit the island twice a year for the last 40+ years, and be paid for my 3 day trips. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks Derek glad you enjoyed it. I guess last year you didn’t manage to make it back? Hopefully things will change later this year. Great place to be able to visit time and again. So much more we want to see there! Any recommendations welcome!
I must say... This was definitely one of the better videos about the Isle I've seen.
😁👍
Thank you so much, we would love to go back and film so more we just could not cover it all.
Thank you for the video. It brought back many happy memories of my teenage years spent living on the island.
Suzanne Barton thank you for the lovely feedback, it makes it all worth while. I am so glad you enjoyed it. It is a special island for sure.
The Isle of Man is a magical place and we hope you enjoy this video covering just some of many things you can do! Feel free to connect with us in the comments and happy to answer an questions you have. Happy Travels from the #memoryseekers
Love the isle of man fantastic 😊great video
I’ve just come back from “across” reliving my little holiday from my sofa, as I seen most of these places 😁
Glad it brought back the memories
Bellissimo posto, mi fai conoscere posti del quale non sapevo l esistenza 🖐️
Bene, siamo lieti di presentarvi qualcosa di nuovo. Grazie per aver guardato.
Easily one of the best IOM videos I've seen. You've completely sold me on making a stop here next year on my trip to Ireland. :)
So glad you enjoyed it and want to visit. We would love to go back and film more. We only covered half of things you can do. Have a great trip to Ireland and hope you make it to IOM.
Best Video on Isle of Man.... Thanks
Thank you, we have been back and will have a new one with more new places coming in a month or two. 😊
Superbe priveliști !!!
Mersul cu acest tren , cred ca a fost o placere!!
Felicitări, pentru acest vlog !!
Il treno è così carino e un ottimo modo per vedere l'isola.
Lovely video. I’d love to visit again. I was last there in 1977. Went every year on holiday. All the names of places are familiar. I would love to return.
Ahh how lovely to remember all the places from the 70’s we would love to go back as well so much still to see!
Fisherman cottage also used in film “keeping mum” as was the cafe at the calf sound
The scenery of those surrounding islands is great.
Excellent well informative film piece , well done and thanks for uploading.
Hey there thanks for the nice comment, glad you liked it. Are you planning a trip when are allowed out?
Very beautiful place.I like very much.🌞❤
Hello thanks for the comment. Yes it’s a great place and one we need to go back too as there is much more we didn’t have time to show!
Excellent reportage vu de France et qui donne vraiment l'envie de découvrir cette charmante et pittoresque petite île de la mer d'Irlande ...
What a beautiful place.
It really is 😊
What a fantastic video. Its made me want to go there asap. Thank you so much for sharing and giving so much pleasure to other people ...... Regards
Hello there so glad you enjoyed it and it makes you want to visit. That is what our channel is all about! Hopefully, you find some of our other videos just as interesting. Best Regards.
Really great guide. So want to go back
Thanks Andrew! We really enjoyed our trip there and will go back for sure!
Thank you again for such a wonderful tour . What a wonderful place to visit . I really need to learn more about the Isle Of Man . I only know some of the general history and about the castle in Castletown . And of course those beautiful Manx cats.
Must get back and film again, we only saw half of what is on offer in Isle of Man. Really lovely place and very surprising!
i want so much to visit the island. hope one day i will. greetings from brazil o/
Hello there, glad you liked the video all the way from Brazil. Its a lovely place hope you make it over one day after the pandemic. Stay safe!
Thanks so much! We just booked a week long stay in July 2023 for the whole family!
How wonderful, plenty of time to really explore. Have a great time.
Great video & beautiful island, i loved watching
Your videos are near perfection. Very, well done. Thank you.
Bill that just made our day! Thanks so much glad you like them!
Thanks for this video - we are off to IOM in a few days and found this useful - thank you x
Glad it was helpful! Have fun.
My father's distance family was from the Isle of Man. I hope to visit someday
Great video of a not so famous place ! To me so special because Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, my favorites singers and songwrites off all time was born in Douglas !
Ahhh! We never knew they were born on the island!
As you can see from the video, it’s a great place to visit.
Have you seen our Gibraltar video? Also a great place for a weekend break..... or the west coast of Ireland, or Lviv, or Gdańsk or Wroclaw... I could go on forever! Haha
Thanks for your kind comments
Coach driver told us they were born there and lived in several parts union mills and strand street
I LOVE your videos!!! Thank you for doing such a great job!!! Attraction not promotion that’s what sparks our enthusiasm!!! Keep up the great work! Planning a trip next year♥️‼️❣️🕉☮️🧚♂️🧚🎶🧚🏻♀️🌸🌼🌺😘
Thank you for the lovely comment, hope you have a wonderful trip. We must go back lots more to see then we could show in a weekend.
Really enjoyed seeing the rest of the Isle, a lovely change from the always enjoyable and hair-raising race coverage. It is a beautiful island. Also, love your channel. Great locations and well done narrative that is also oddly… comforting. You should put out a book reading, Simon. LOL. Cheers from the US!
Glad you enjoyed the tour, one of my friends said I should do podcasts lol
@@MemorySeekers I’m thinking there would be a fair number of subscribers tuning in for that, myself included. You certainly have the tone, delivery, and positivity that would fit nicely for the platform. 👍
Best travel guide
Wow thanks glad you liked it!
I m so enjoyed your vlog...thank you so much
Great video, thank you!
Cregneash was used as the village in Waking Ned (a few miles from Ned's cottage)
Well that is good to know. I’ve not seen the the film I must find the time to watch it. Thanks for that info Simon
Thank you for your info & pic ..I 'd like to go to the Isle of Man on the day of my life ..because it was the birthplace of my only one favorite band ..the Bee Gees..❤❤❤❤
Beautiful place to go visit love it ❤️
And we only managed to film half of all the things to do. Still plan to go back some day!
Fantastic video of the beautiful IOM...best I’ve ever seen, thanks for producing and uploading!
Raymond thank you so much! Put a smile on my face today, glad you enjoyed and will join us on future videos around the world!😊
MemorySeekers you’re welcome, was due to visit in May but C19 put an end to that...this upload reminded me of how beautiful the IOM is and can’t wait to go back...but well done on a great production.
Yes C19 has put pay to many of our planned trips this year, but we were lucky enough to get away to Greece and Italy so should not grumble many people have not managed a trip at all. Thanks again!
We live in northern New England, my wife and I have only IOM on our travel list right now. This video was a great help in letting us know what some of our options are. We plan to spend a week so we can really get a feel for the place. Thanks for the video!
So glad it has been a help. Have a wonderful trip. We had just a weekend and would love to have a week to see it all and in a more relaxed fashion. Have fun!
Great video ! I have just recently discovered I have Ancestry in the Isle of Man. I came here to see what info I could find out about the area, I really enjoyed the video.
Ah how interesting! Do you think you will try and visit one day? Where are you from?
Fantastic thanks. What a great place.
It really is!
Planning to go there by June♥️cant wait🤩
Should be a nice month to be there! Fingers crossed for the sunshine!
Isle of Man 👍🏻 a really cool location for Filmerstellung i think 🤗 best cinematic greetings from germany
It really is! hello from London!
I don’t have time this trip, but when I come back (in warmer months) will have to check this out. Looks absolutely lovely.
Yes this is another beautiful island we were surprised at how good it is! Not sure where you are from but flights are fairly inexpensive from London Gatwick with Easyjet having a daily service.
The Isle of Man is an amazing place. I lived there for 3 yrs before Lockdown and honestly I never heard anyone shout at their kids, you can leave your or house unlocked. Big news is when a car mirror gets broken and the culprit doesn't leave their contact details. The wild life, the glens, rivers and seas are trult stunning. And you can drive the TT course 😎
It's been ages since we came over to IOM, still so much to see, you have sparked an urge to come back for more!
Was only there for a weekend in 2017 but loved it - thanks for the memories 😄
Glad we stirred the memories! We only had a weekend as well. Would love to go back!
@@MemorySeekers Me too 😃
Absolutely charming. Have seen the videos more critical of the current neglect, and the complaints are valid.
With any place, we must take the positives and negatives and hope the net is in the black.
Seems overall that is the case with the IOM, but I can also understand why one would criticize the lack of care from municipalities, who inherited such natural and historical grandeur.
Fascinated with the Isle before I knew of the TT- but admit that it is a bucket list event- the location makes it.
great video keep more coming
Thanks Tom just editing an Athens video right now! Melting in the heat! ☀️🔥
This is a great video of The Rock - glad you caught it on a sunny weekend! Most places pronounced correctly so 👍 however the Manx Cat isnt really elusive. I mean, I guess it is if you are looking for them on the mainland but on the Isle of Man they're inevitably rampant 😂
Hi Amy, thanks so much for your feedback, you know we didn't catch sight of one all weekend, but I guess that happens when you go looking you never find one. The weather was lovely, we were lucky and to be there on the weekend of the World Tin Bath Championship was also special! That was a surprise we didn't know happened. 😊
I miss my home in castle...we fehy are a proud lot..."WICH EVER WAY YOU THROW ME I SHALL STAND!"
Love Castle Town, so lucky to have been there for the World Tin Bath Championships, such a great day in the town!
@@MemorySeekers aye...tis not the same now, with this Brexit and such it's a danm shame truly it is
@@quinnrice3027 yes brexit and the virus is a real double whammy of problems!
What a great video. I am a beginner at YouTubing but I was really impressed by the camerawork - the focus pulls, transitions, hyperlapses and pacing. The commentary was just right (although Lougtan sheep are pronounced "Lochton, not Low Town!). I am amazed at how much you where able to fit in over two days.
Our family spent many happy holidays on the island just after the war and my parents retired to Colby in in the Eighties. My sister and i are retuening for a nostalgic trip down memory lane in May, taking the ferry from Liverpool and meeting up with old friends.
If you go back I would recommend both Port Erin and Port St Mary, Colby Glen and a closer look at Castletown.
Thanks for the memories and keep up the great work
beautiful
Great tour around I really want to there to see the TT the only problem now it is so very busy no hotels you would have to camp . It is a beautiful island its on the list. Thank you.
Very good video n description
Ah thanks so much means a lot!
@@MemorySeekers very interesting video indeed 😊
Yayy Niarbyl at the start - I always go there on my regular vacations to the Isle. Gonna miss it this year 😿
Yes its an incredible location, more of my fav's on the Isle, just seems to throw you back in time. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, so next year you will appreciate it all the more! ☺☺
BTW, that's not a mine 'shaft', it's an adit, a mine shaft is a vertical mine entrance, I know as I am a Canadian retired underground miner.
Best wee island in the British isles.
😂 it sure is a wee island 🏝
@@MemorySeekers Yep it sure is i should know i race there every TT .
@@flalingbashers2957 So it's not only wee but fast as well!
Can't wait to visit IOM!
Glad you enjoyed it and made you want to visit!
Xx!. Thanks
Thanks. 👏🏼👋👍👏🏼👋👍
What an absolutely amazing, wonderful, interesting and beautiful place ever seen so far! I learned so much about this particular part of England, and it is very much better than I thought it would be!!!!! The closest thing to a heavenly paradise!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video with us!!!!! I have put this place on my list of things that I want to do! Keep up with the good work!
Thank you so much, Cassandra!
We were surprised how nice the island was too. We’d love to visit again.
We are currently working on videos from our recent trip to the Scottish highlands, hopefully you’ll enjoy those too once we publish them 😀
Nice walk in the isle of man. I enjoyed it very much. Your walks are always amazing and historical. Have you ever been to fyvie castle in Scotland? I heard it's a great place to visit. Can't wait to see more soon. 😃
No we have not been, this was our first ever trip to Scotland. I have marked it on the map for when we return.
Thank you
You might want to walk up Peel Hill to look at the Castle.... Tynwald Hill is the Parliament in St Johns.
Thanks for the Video though I am adding it into a Blog post ;)
Hi Allen, thanks for the comment, yes someone else previously mentioned that mistake on the name of the hill. Glad you liked the video please do share the link to your blog so we can share that for you! 👍
I want to live here 💕
Beautifull
Thank you
That fish and chips looked really yummy.
You cannot beat fish and chips by the sea!
We found the same when we went there - even out of season - for our video. :)
Enjoyed your video the seals were cute! We never managed to see them but could have been season related i guess!
@@MemorySeekers Thank you. They were there three different days when we went, so we got really lucky on that one! :)
Peel "The Sunset City" without a sunset? Other than that, a delightful tour of the Isle. We've just returned from our second two week trip and it won't be our last!
Lovely video. Great to watch when I'm supposed to be on holiday in my old stomping ground right now 😢😢😢 just for your information, the hill next to Peel Castle, the other side of Fenella Beach, isn't called Tynwald Hill. Tynwald Hill is on the way out of Peel at St. John's. I think it's actually called Peel Hill, but that could be a local nickname? Keep well.
Hannah, thanks some much for your comment. I feel your pain on not being able to travel. Looks like it will be for quite a while yet! Good for our followers to know that I made a mistake on the location, so thank you for pointing it out. ( I try hard but always get a little something wrong haha)! Take Care and keep watching love to have you with us in the future. Si
Nice vedio 👍
Thank you!
Very pretty tour - it's one place I know just about zero about, but my ears pricked up when you mentioned FREE PARKING!! I'd really like to know about what makes the IoM unique and how it differs from England? Do they have VAT, did you notice any differences, are the holidays the same, when are the TT Races (in case you want to avoid them) - is it closer to the Channel Islands in governance (?) than England - how do you get there, and how does it compare in size, to say Jersey or the Isle of White! Do they have their own currency? (Sorry, as I said I know Nothing!)
I do like the idea of all the heritage rail you took, that looks like a lovely way to explore and the coastline looks very unspoilt and quite dramatic - and was the ice cream good? I remember years ago being heartbroken when I went to Jersey & there wasn't a genuine Jersey ice cream to be had - I hope that's no longer true! (Just wonder if the short-horn pigs are related to the Aussie Drop Bears? 😉) You guys do a great job - I know you go all over, but the British Isles really is blessed with some amazing destinations.
For VAT they are the same as UK but not part of UK , holidays the same as far as I am aware. TT is usually around the end of May you need to google for exact dates, The Island is a self-governing British Crown Dependency so just like Jersey but Isle of Wight is part of the UK not the same at all. They have the Manx Pound that is the same as sterling but cannot be spent off the isle. You can use GBP in IOM fine though. You can fly from a number of airports in the UK or take a ferry. ☺
Great Video really enjoyed it but please try and do a longer video documentary of the island, airport, and other stuff can't wait. thank you
Thanks Shaun, we hope to go back in 2020 and cover more of the island for sure. Still lots we could not do in one weekend. Make sure you subscribe so you know when! Thanks for feedback really appreciate it! Si and Will 😀
I went in August and was also able to use my English Heritage card to access sites.
Wow he actually said cregneash right
Thanks!
Oh my, thank you so much for supporting us, that is just amazing. To kind. Thank you very much! 😀😱❤
Excellent video. The only thing missing was a guide to the local Christian churches. 😊
We are visiting here on a cruise in august. The ship tours are all sold out already but by watching your video i think we can get around on the railway. Do you know how far port is away from the railway. Wanting i thing to go to castletown on it. Unless you have other suggestions. We are there a nice full day 10-7pm. Great videos you are producing thanks. We are on a British Isles cruise beginning in Copenhagen, Denmark if you have any other recommended videos, that would be great also
Whenever I travel by bus from Cregneash to Calf Sound (on my almost-annual trips to the Island: I pray I will be able to go again someday!), I see a weird flying saucer-like structure on a hill before I reach the Sound. Never known what it is.
So strange?! Someone here hopefully will know...
It's to do with air craft, it's like a check in point for planes flying over us. Known locally as the spaceship I think most of us grew up believing it was a real spaceship!
To be continue dear♥♥♥
Great video , i would love to visit one day , the only problem i live in Glasgow Scotland and it can be awkward to travel to , i would need to get a train to Lancaster then a long 3 hour Ferry which is expensive, dont think there are direct flights from Scotland anymore.😢
Direct flights might be seasonal or you can get a flight to Belfast and connect to IOM it takes 2hr 20 mins with connection. Be cheaper and quicker than the ferry. May be an option?
There's plenty to do in Ramsey?! Did you try the Mooragh Park or go for a walk up Albert Tower?
Hi Alex, Mooragh park seemed more for the kids, and with limited time we could not include it. As we say in the video we only saw half what the lovely island has to offer. Albert Tower I had not heard of but looks like great views back over Ramsey. Earmark that one for next time! Thanks for the extra info.
The maker of the world’s finest watches, Roger Smith watches, is on the Isle of Man.
Love from india
Hey thanks :) hope you are joining our adventures and subscribing! All the best Si
It’s not Tynwald Hill, that’s in St John’s
