Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,009 reviews
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.

Step back in time and enjoy a journey to the Isle of Man highest peak. Excellent views on a clear day. Also good views on the way to the top. The journey is in an old fashioned carrige that creaks it's way to top. Would recommend.

After visiting the Laxey Wheel and mine went to the cafe for tea & scone and thought we would book for an evening meal later in the week in the restaurant. Interesting model of the Laxey Wheel and mine as you go in. Staff very helpful in which night would be best for us and which room would suit us. We enjoyed our meal and and if we holiday again on the Isle of Man we will be back.
