DAY 1 Travel to the Preston area for your overnight stay, arriving in time for dinner.
DAY 2 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.
DAY 3 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 The Sound, with stunning views of the Calf of Man, a bird sanctuary and nature reserve, then from here we make our way to Port Erin to enjoy free time in the resort, which is virtually a landlocked bay making it a pleasure to stroll along the glorious sandy beach. From Port Erin we board the Isle of Man Steam Railway for a nostalgic journey back to Douglas.
DAY 4 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.
DAY 5 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.
DAY 6 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.
DAY 7 We travel back from the Island to Heysham on the ferry, then continue home today.
