Getting Around

Walking

Walking on the Isle of Man is the ultimate outdoor adventure and the best way to appreciate the vast, picturesque countryside which is unchanged for hundreds of years and the beautiful unspoilt, sandy beaches that the island has to offer. Re-discover the pleasures of walking, as you explore one of the many designated walks with distances ranging from a three and a half mile walk to almost 14 miles, all of which are suitable for people of all abilities.

One of these walks is the new, Douglas Town Trail, a walk through the Isle of Man's capital and about a mile and a half in distance. Starting from the Steam Railway Station on the south edge of Douglas you follow the quayside to the Sea Terminal, then along the promenade to finish at the Marina & Gaiety Theatre Complex.

There are also many organised walking events such as the Summer Walking Festival programme, and all walks are led by experienced leaders. They provide you with interesting information on the landscape whilst ensuring the correct routes are taken.
