Isle of Man Tourism

---

The Isle of Man is a unique destination with over 10,000 years of history, its own currency, stamps, native tongue and mile upon mile of unspoilt countryside and secluded beaches, yet less than 60 miles from the north west of England.

It is set in the Irish Sea, the Island measures just 33 miles by 13 (50 x 20kms), but within these shores there is such a wealth of discoveries to be made. It is a very different island, with its own laws and the world's oldest continuous parliament - Tynwald.

But a visit is also a voyage of discovery; an opportunity to learn a little about the fascinating, and sometimes turbulent, past of this Island, much influenced by the Celts and Vikings over the centuries. All over the Island you'll find intriguing evidence of the Island's culture and history... Celtic crosses, ancient Viking burial grounds and medieval fortresses.

While on the the Island you will discover the world's largest operational water wheel, the Lady Isabella, transport systems over 100 years old still in regular service plus a wealth of thrilling motorsports events, including the T.T. for which the Island is world famous.

But wherever you happen to be in the Isle of Man you'll always be aware of a uniquely warm Manx welcome.
