Isle of Man

The Isle of Man – Ellan Vannin – boasts a rich archaeological heritage from the Neolithic period and the Iron Age, a Celtic and Norse past, and times under the control of the Earls of Derby, the Dukes of Athol and then the British Crown. In addition to its historic highlights, this island is also home to an extensive coastline, stunning natural landscapes and unspoilt beaches. If you’ve always wanted to explore a castle that once belonged to an 11th century Viking king, take a ride aboard the longest narrow gauge vintage electric railway system in the British Isles or stand before the largest working waterwheel in the world, this is the place for you.
