In search of the real Man

Advantages: Beautiful beaches, beautiful countryside, lovely people
Disadvantages: None at all.

.../> Why not just the Isle of Man?

Dennis W Turner


***** In the beginning *****

A few years ago in the cinema, I fell in love with the countryside on the film of Waking Ned (Devine). The story was set in Ireland, but on buying the DVD some time later, I discovered that the film was not made in Ireland, but on the Isle of Man. This set me on a quest to visit the Isle of Man!

As mentioned ...
...isn't. To reach the Isle of Man, I would need to drive from my far south east corner of England in Kent, all the way to the northwest in Lancashire (or thereabouts) and then, catch a ferry across part of the Irish Sea to the Isle. I just knew that I probably would never get around to it, but still held the dream that one day I would visit.

This is THE place for a visit

Advantages: Quiet, Relaxing, Beautiful
Disadvantages: Nothing but getting there

Say the Isle of Man to most people and what will they remember? TT racing and the Manx cat right. Well did you know that The Queen is not the Queen on the Isle of Man? She is The Lord of Man. It is a crown dependency, and so much more. It has its own laws and currency, though they will accept U.K. coins and notes. Manx notes are NOT legal tender off the isle.But you will not need your passport to go there and see for yourself. There are many myths ...

An audio tape commentary is supplied. Peel has many narrow winding streets that are a joy to explore. There is a wonderful museum that is The House of Manannan and is well worth a visit. Cost is £5.00 adult £2.50 child. There is also a fine sandy beach for the Children. Plenty ...

A MotorSport Fan's Haven and Heaven

Advantages: Motorsport events, magical fairy tales
Disadvantages: Expensive

The Isle of Man is famed as a motor sports haven most notably for the TT bike races held each year. However the TT is just on of many motor sports events the isle holds, there are many more car and bike races based here including national bike races, the national and international car rallies, and karting events. I'm basing much of this opinion on my last visit to the Manx International Rally though the majority of points can be applied to attending ...

We're from the Isle of Man...

Advantages: Nearby, cheap beer, impressive history, beautiful scenery and villages.
Disadvantages: Not for everyone. Entertain yourself, gets tired after a while.

Basing your opinion of the Isle of Man upon what you've seen of it from the infamous Fast Show sketches would quite probably be the worst thing you could do. Not only are the sketches utterly unfunny and devoid of humour of any kind, they are an insult to the Manx people and have a basis built on sand. Manx sand, at that. I jest. The sketches featuring the middle-aged husband and wife from the Isle of Man, holidaying abroad (see: a very wet field ...
...me make it clear: the Isle of Man is most definitely not for everyone. The vast majority of the island is very similar to quaint English countryside villages you might stumble across in the Lake District. Poorly-lit tea rooms, dusty corner shops and cockles on the beach (Windermere has a beach too, y'know). So before you even think of boarding the ferry, you have to ask yourself if that's the kind of holiday you want. Aside from Douglas, the capital, ...

One of the nicest places I have lived

Advantages: Lovely scenery, TT races, the mountain road
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

I moved to the Isle of Man in March 2001and lived there until April 2003. It was one of the nicest places I have lived. The scenery and countryside blew me away. On a clear day, you can go up onto the famous mountain road and you can see England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Admittedly I did only see this view twice as it can get very foggy on the Isle of Man but if you ever visit and you get a clear day, go have a look. Its breathtaking. I lived ...
...main shopping centre on the Isle of Man. There is quite a good selection of shops. I used to laugh when going to Tesco or Safeway and seeing empty shelves. When the weather is bad, there is no way on or off the island. Boats and planes get cancelled therefore no deliveries can be made to the supermarkets. The nightlife here isnt amazing as the island isnt very big but you can have a good night out. There is always a good atmosphere. I used to enjoy ...

A Legendary Celtic Island

Advantages: Legends. History, Ancient Parliament Low Taxes
Disadvantages: Nighlife is a tad tame

The Isle of Man, which lies halfway between the coast of Ireland and Northwest England, is a legendary island. According to a popular legend, the Celtic Isle of Man was formed when Irish giant Finn McCooil hurled a handful of earth at a rival in Scotland - and missed. Today the 33-mile-long island has some of the finest features of its Celtic neighbours, overlain with its own very distinctive character. The island is quite beautiful in parts, and ...

Other popular recreational activities on the Island include walking, angling, golf and cycling. There are also vintage steam and electric railways which provide a transport link between picturesque towns and villages. The Isle of Man was used as the location for the ...

Sailing.... slowly

Advantages: Cheapest way to get to the island
Disadvantages: Boats are often late

The Isle of Man Steampacket is the cheapest and unfortuanetly, slowest way to get to or from the Isle of Man. The boats travel to numerous destinations ; Douglas, Belfast, Liverpool, Heysham and Dublin, and usually have twice daily sailings to each destination. When I generally use the Steampacket, I sail from Douglas to either Liverpool or Heysham. The boats themselves are rather large cargo ferries, and are the only way to ship your car over to the Isle of Man or back to England/Ireland. The main ships the company uses are the SeaCat vessels with an average time of about 2 and a half hours sailing time each way. However, the terminals at Liverpool and Douglas leave alot to be desired, and the terminal at Heysham may as well not exist, as the staff are generally disorganised and the ships are often late, or running on just three ...

Review of Isle of Man Steam Packet

Isle of Man Steam Packet

Advantages: It runs every day
Disadvantages: it doesn't run if its too windy

and she really starts to rock, lots of seating and vehicle room. Used a lot by people taking day trips to Dublin, Belfast, Liverpool and the Isle of Man. Be aware on Saturdays a lot of people go to the north west of england to watch the football and rugby, a lot of drunken fools use this boat on the return. Don't be confused, this is not the seacat that was hit in Feb in the Mersey, she is still getting repaired. The staff are very efficent and helpful, if you are nice they are, although it must be said you get better quality staff on the Ben boat than the seacat. you can pay extra for the 1st class lounges, and get free coffee, tea, biscuits and papers. I am a member of the Blue Ribbon, this has its own private lounge just below the bridge with massive viewing windows. You can help your self to all drinks alcohol included, buscuits ...

Review of Isle of Man Steam Packet

Arrogant British Airways

Advantages: Do you know any?
Disadvantages: Not enough time to tell you - I retire in 27 years!!

I am (at least for another month anyway) a resident of the Isle of Man. For those of you who don't know, it is an island in the Irish Sea roughly equidistant between England, Scotland, I reland and Wales. It used to have its own carrier, Manx Airlines, but this was taken over by BA a couple of years back. The first things BA did is take away the Heathrow route, and replace it with a Gatwick flight. Since then it has scaled back on a number of routes. I was booked on the Edinburgh flight in January 2005. BA rang me in November to say the flight was cancelled, offering me an alternative flight to Glasgow or a refund. A few days after the call, the news broke that they weren't just cancelling that flight, they were cancelling the whole route! This was after they set up in competition on the route against a small airline called ...
