It's been 5 years since our first visit to the Isle of Man, and with so much to see and do, it's time to head back and enjoy more of this wonderful Isle in the Irish Sea. The Isle of Man offers visitors a variety of attractions and experiences. If you missed our first video on the Isle of Man then check out that video here: • Isle of Man: There is...
In this video exploring the Isle of Man, we'll begin in our base Castletown and explore the ancient Norse Castle Rushen built in the 13th century. Take a town walk and explore the harbour.
We'll visit a vampire grave in Malew Churchyard and as the rain and wind arrive drive to Fort Island also known as St Michael's Isle.
Our first was cut short with hire car issues and the bad weather but we do manage to make it to Peel for our dinner at the Boatyard. If you like a fishy supper this is well worth watching.
Day 2 in the Isle of Man started with much better weather and we started the day with a visit to the Grove Museum. Positioned just outside Ramsey it's a gorgeous setting and offers a unique glimpse into Victorian and Edwardian life. It was the cherished country home of the Gibb family, and their possessions reveal their story through the decades.
Later we took a ride on the vintage Electric Tramway from Douglas to Laxey where had a wonderful Sunday Roast lunch.
To walk the sizeable meal off, we explored Groudle Glen, which is just a magical part of the Island. One of 18 Glen's you can explore this one was once a popular Victorian tourist attraction with stalls, a narrow gauge railway and a pretty waterwheel. Almost everything is gone now but you can find the waterwheel as you explore and the railway has been reopened to take visitors through the glen with a chug!
We ended our day chasing the sunset and spent the last of the daylight hours at Calf Sound on the southernmost point of the Isle. It was a wonderful way to spend the last moments of our second weekend trip to this fantastic place.

Around 14~ years old, I had a friend who's family lived as the landlords in the Grove Museum after moving as our neighbors. So many memories from getting the bus from Douglas and doing all sorts of stuff up there. He was a couple years older and soon learning to drive, so we would practice in the field next to the museum haha. Christmas nativity sets in the barn there too, which me and my dad helped create barn animal noises that was playing over the PA's... playing PC games in his room tucked away inside the residential section of the house. His mum baking all sorts of cakes (professional baker) for weddings etc. Birthday parties, etc etc. Great memories!

I believe the Volks railway is the first and oldest still running tram/railway. it would be worth a glance at the old windmill near castle town where the original museum of witchcraft was opened in the 1950's, i would love to glimpse it as it is now. no longer a museum.

A lovely Adventure - what sort of price would you expect to pay for flights? It does look like a relaxing destination. - is there anything that tells you it's not really part of the UK, despite such an entwined past - like different money or pub opening hours, no speed cameras _ the mail boxes looked the same? Do you feel like you are in another country or not really? Thanks for another entertaining getaway - Happy Travels!

They have there own currency with the same denominations as the UK. UK currency is legal tender in the Isle of Man but Manx currency is not accepted in the UK. Other than that I didn't really feel like we were in a different country, just a better pace of life! We have been able to get flights for under £90 return each from Gatwick, but think the earlier you book the better. I remember last time I think it was a bargain at £50 return for the 50 minute flight. Certain an affordable place to go for a weekend.
