One of the joys of a visit to the Isle of Man is the sheer diversity of the localities packed into its 227 square miles. High among the favourites of many locals and visitors is the picturesque village of Laxey, about 7 miles up the East coast of the Island from the capital town, Douglas.

Located in the gulf stream, our rich waters attract a rich variety of marine life, from the hundreds of seals around the Calf of Man, porpoises, whales & dolphins through to our giant summer visitors - the basking shark, when conditions are right you can be in for a real treat.

Visitors to the Isle of Man are astonished to discover the wealth of transport heritage contained within its 225 square miles. Lovingly preserved and operating today, the island boasts a variety of vintage railways which operate from Port Erin in the south to Ramsey in the north. Leave the car behind and see the island from a different perspective!
