MON We travel to the Preston area for our overnight stay, arriving in time for dinner.

TUE After breakfast we travel to the port of Heysham for our afternoon sailing to Douglas where we will be joined by our guide and settle in for a five night stay at our seafront hotel.

WED Today we board our coach to explore Peel on the west coast, once the Island’s main fishing port. Take time to explore the lovely cathedral, castle, sandy beach and harbour or perhaps visit the award-winning House of Manannan. We then drive on to Castletown
to discover the charm of the Isle of Man’s ancient capital, where cobbled streets, historic castles, and picturesque harbours invite you to step back in time. Later, we continue to Port Erin and board the Isle of Man Steam Railway for a nostalgic journey back to Douglas.

THU We begin today with a trip on the Snaefell Mountain Railway, which climbs from Laxey to the summit of Snaefell Mountain. At the summit enjoy the magnificent view of the seven kingdoms – Mann, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Sea and Heaven! In the afternoon we have included a visit to the Great Laxey Wheel – the world’s largest working water wheel and an outstanding icon of the Island’s long history of mining. The Mines Trail includes displays of the once thriving mining complex, a short walk through the Glen Moar Valley, and the chance to enter a section of the mine. We return to Douglas for dinner.

FRI This morning we head to the Milntown Estate. Set in the beautiful parish of Lezayre, Milntown is the Island’s only historic estate and boasts 15 acres of beautiful gardens and woodlands which surround the magnificent mansion. We then head into the town of “Royal” Ramsey where we will board the Manx Electric Railway for our journey back to Douglas.

SAT Enjoy a free day in Douglas, the Island’s capital. Stroll along the waterfront with its sweeping views of Douglas Bay, a legacy of the Victorian era with its horse drawn trams that potter along the handsome promenade during the summer months or visit the award
winning Manx Museum in the centre of town.

SUN We travel back from the Island to Heysham on the ferry, then continue home today.

He was very friendly and kept us informed of the itinerary for the day. The coach was spotless and very comfortable. Well done Heathside for a very pleasant day.

Heathside travel provided excellent service to take a large group on a day trip to Bombay Sapphire, which was well organised through the company. Coach was very comfortable and had a pleasant journey. Staff were friendly and informative both on the day and in the booking process. Would definitely consider Heathside Travel for other day trips and services.
