The Isle of Man is simply magical, an enchanted journey back in time that somehow still feels modern. The island is peppered with stone churches, castles, forts and intricately carved Celtic crosses, all in varying states of preservation. A ride on the steam engine Heritage Railway is a wonderful way to take in the splendid countryside. Don’t miss the Victorian-era Laxey Wheela or Curraghs Wildlife Park, a fun way to get up close and personal with some of the island’s most adorable natives.

Son (12) & mother (47), not really sure how this afternoon would pan out, ended up having the BEST 2hrs EVER! Both courses challenged us at the same time as being reassuringly safe. The staff were friendly & helpful without being overbearing & gave us space yet managed to appear at exactly the right moment! I would 100% recommend this activity for any age or combination & cant wait to bring the rest of the family back. Climbing the tree to ring the bell is a must! Many Thanks & see you again soon.

Came to the island to visit friends and spent some time painting pottery with the kids. The team at Craftworks Studio were so friendly and helpful. They shared their experiences well and helped out when creative juices weren’t flowing! We made some great pieces. Could have stayed all day! Can’t wait to pick them up!

Designed by the Victorian engineer Robert Casement, the Laxey Wheel was built in 1854 to pump water from Glen Mooar which was part of the Great Laxey Mines industrial complex.Standing at over 72 feet high the wheel, which is also known as Lady Isabella, has been one of the Isle of Man’s most popular tourist attractions for well over 150 years.You’ll have the opportunity to watch the wheel turning before attempting to climb to the top where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views across the Glen Mooar Valley. Once back on solid ground you can walk through the valley to find the Great Laxey Mines – learn about the lives of the miners, walk into the mine audit and take a trip on the Great Laxey Mines Railway which was once used to carry lead and zinc ores from deep inside the Great Laxey Mine.
We visited the Laxey wheel, although the £8 entrance fee seemed a bit steep, we enjoyed our visit, after climbing the 95 steps you get a great insight into the workings of a water wheel & also great views of the valley.
