Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then we board the ferry to the Isle of Man*, and on to our hotel for four nights.
We enjoy a journey on the Manx Electric Railway, still operating with Victorian and Edwardian rolling stock. Built between 1893 and 1899 the line connects the capital Douglas with Laxey and Ramsey.
At Laxey, we join the Snaefell Mountain Railway and journey to the summit. At 621 metres above sea level, Snaefell offers breathtaking, panoramic views where you can catch a glimpse of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the kingdoms of heaven on a clear day!
Relax in resort with a day at leisure or join our optional excursion to Peel, which has connections with the island’s rich Celtic, Viking, and maritime past. Try the world-famous Manx Kippers, eat some of the best ice-cream on the island or explore the magnificent ruins of Peel Castle - the choice is yours!

I enjoyed this holiday with scenic views on train journeys and throughout the island. The Manx Museum in Douglas is worth a visit. Peel and Peel Castle were also enjoyable.
