Fancy a memorable holiday? Here’s a suggestion:
Organize a trip to the Isle of Man – see visitisleofman.com or your travel agent.
Book your accommodation, somewhere on the Douglas seafront is convenient- see visitisleofman.com or your travel agent
Buy a seven-day “GO Explore”” ticket that allows travel on any public transport on the island for the whole week. This includes the horse drawn trams that go up and down the Douglas front, the steam train to Castletown, Port St Mary and Port Erin, a 120-year old tram that goes to the beautiful town of Laxey and another that goes up Snaefell Mountain as well as single and double decker buses.
Head on a different transport and walking adventure each day. Keep an eye on the weather as it is pointless going up the Mountain when it is misty – you miss the beautiful views to the 7 kingdoms! And yes, this is an island in the Irish Sea, you will need rain gear sometimes, but mostly it is very pleasant walking, and any rain usually clears.
One of the benefits of having the public transport tickets is that you don’t have to worry about getting back to a car or coach – for example, get the train to Port Erin, walk around (or over) to Port St Mary and either get the train or bus back to Douglas from there. Much of the public transport is like a journey back in time.
