This second video in the Isle of Man series features Port Erin, Port St. Mary and the Calf of Man. All are located in the South of the island, an area that reminds many visitors of Cornwall with its winding lanes, dry shone walls, wide beaches and narrow coves but with 18th century crofters’ villages and four-horned sheep it us defiantly Manx.
Both towns are served by the Isle of Man Stean Railway that runs from the capital, Dougles, as well as two active Lifeboats.
Port Erin, still designated a village, is larger than Castletown, the ancient capital of the island. Unlike many much larger English towns, this ‘village’ not only has a busy shopping centre, but an active branch of the Isle of Man Bank.
Port St Mary is the home of the Isle of Man Yacht Club with both an inner and outer harbour. Family holidaymakers can joy both rock pools as well as a large sandy beach.
Both harbours offer boat trips around the Calf of Man to see the birdlife and the colony of seals.
More active tourists will enjoy the coastal paths that lead past the Chasms to the Calf of Man.
The Sound Café overlooking the Calf offers both food, dronk and information. The Manx Heritage Trust which oversees the Calf offers overnight stays on the island.
