What to do and see in Isle of Man, Isle of Man: The Best History Museums
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.

The Centre will remain closed in 2020 in the light of COVID (instead focussing on research) but reopens in 2021 - see website. At the site of the largest WW1 Internment Camp, where over 30,000 German, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish civilian men were interned behind its barbed wire between 1914 and 1919, the Centre tells the story of the internees, guards and staff, incorporating an interactive scale model of Knockaloe Camp and our wonderful collections of artefacts created by the internees. Our app guides a walk from the Centre, taking in the Guards and Internee graves, the site of the former Camp and the Garden of Barbed Wire which provides a quiet spot to sit and reflect. The Charity team are on hand to help descendants - please do let us know in advance if you are descended from an internee or guard and are intending to visit so we can do some preliminary research for you. We are a Registered Charity - we do not charge for entry but really welcome donations which help cover costs.

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.
