Make the most of a grey day....
Kristymamoo Says: Nothing quite lifts a grey gloomy day more than a stroll down one of the Islands many beaches. Me and the girls had a great morning yesterday on Douglas beach. It's free, it's fun and it's good for you!!!!! :-)
Kristymamoo Says: The best thing about this castle is the walk around the outside of it. The castle is set on a beautiful spot beside Peel Harbour and surrounded by some magnificent coastal views.This is proving to be a hot-spot for Basking-Shark sightings at the moment with regular viewings...
Kristymamoo Says: I love it here!! It is one of the most dramatic pieces of coastline on the island.Scarlett is an area of extinct volcano in the South of the Island and is well worth a visit just for the "wow" factor. As with many other areas of natural beauty on the Island this is generally...
Kristymamoo Says: The walk up to Bradda Head is lovely!! Most of the way is a reasonably gentle walk - it just gets a bit steep towards the top but it's worth it when you get there. This is a walk we have done many times because it's easy for the kids and it's also very easy to get to.The...
Feefox Says: There is a great park in Ramsey. It has a boating lake, crazy golf and all the usual things.If you are down this way it is perfect for taking the kids and right next to it is Ramsey Promenade so you can take a walk while the kids are playing either on the beach or along the...
Richard152 Says: Fluffy duvets, personal service and clean room up to 21st century standards Front rooms have sea viewFour Seasons restaurant has good food albeit limited menu choice
Coasters: Something for everyone
Feefox Says: Family Friendly Restaurant, reservations are not needed but this is quite a popular place so I would advise booking. Its hard to say what type of restaurant this is, as there is mixture of everything on the menu. From Steaks, Pasta, Jacket Potatos, Burgers, Fish etc etc....
Kristymamoo Says: The Garrison is one of those places where you're not quite sure exactly what it's supposed to be but you know it's always nice!The menu consists mainly of a varied selection of tapas dishes which are changed regularly so you find you never have the same meal twice. The food...
Paparazzi: Pizza and Pasta Galore!!
Kristymamoo Says: We visited Paparazzi for the first time last Friday evening to celebrate Emma's 9th Birthday with a few of her friends. The restaurant was the perfect choice for the occassion.We arrived fairly early (7.00pm) so we were seated within 10 mins of arriving which was ideal with...
The Lighthouse (?): A Hidden Gem!!
Kristymamoo Says: I'm not 100% certain of the name of this cafe, but it really is fabulous!!At the very end of Port Erin promenade there is a lighthouse and this is where you will find this small friendly cafe. Most of the seating is outside just off the beach so you can sit and eat while...
Feefox Says: My mates band plays here quite often. they have live bands every weekend and sometimes in the week except Sundays and Wednesdays, (they do not have a DJ in here at all so no dance music which is relief) although it can be hit and miss as to whether or not they are any...
Kristymamoo Says: Being an Island, there are only two ways on or off - boat or plane!! Unfortunately for us, the transport available to and from the Island is also pretty expensive. The cheapest way to get here is as a foot passenger on the boat and this will cost you from £30rtn - providing...
Tynwald Mills, St Johns: Great place to spend a couple of hours...
Kristymamoo Says: Tynwald Mills has a great selection of little shops selling a wide variety of things from pet stuff to designer clothing and homeware to hand-made chocolates. It is a great place to go to find those unusual little gifts for that person who has everything. The setting of...
Richard152 Says: Fairy bridge on the Castletown to Douglas Road. you can`t miss it - look for the letters haning on the trees!
Kristymamoo Says: On the main Douglas to Castletown Road you will come across the Fairy Bridge.This magical little spot is believed to be inhabited by fairies. Local people (and an increasing number of holidaymakers) make sure to say hello to the fairies as they cross the bridge as a way to...
GeoV Says: It's not exactly a hazard but it can be a bit of a nuisance. There is a great deal of interest in the Isle of Man and neither the official website - which is not clear or informative enough - nor the tourist literature do it justice. Unless you are visiting for the TT races...
Seal Watching at the Point of Ayre
Kristymamoo Says: The point of Ayre is the most Northerly point on the Isle of Man. There isn't much there at all - no cafe so bring a thermos and a picnic and most importantly - NO TOILET!!! There is a visitor centre here which is quite interesting.This is a beautiful, rugged spot and is a...
Kristymamoo Says: Snaefell is the highest peak on the Isle of Man at 2036ft. The view from the top is stunning - on a good, clear day you can get a 360° view of the Island and you can see the "Seven Kingdoms", these being:- The Kingdoms of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales;- The Kingdom of...
Kristymamoo Says: Dhoon Beach is one of those wonderful places that can only be reached on foot. It is a difficult walk (and the walk back is tortorous!!) but it is so worth it.You reach Dhoon Beach by taking a walk through Dhoon Glen. There are many glens to explore on the Island but this is...

Fourteen years ago my family moved to the Island to begin a new life. I was filled with wonder the very first moment I set foot on this beautiful Island. I grew up in Saddleworth and, as such, I was...
