MAKE MEMORIES, LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS

Walking trails in the Isle of Man are as diverse as they are numerous, and with 40% of the Island uninhabited there are countless self-guided and guided walks, and those off the beaten track that allow visitors to discover their own Island story.

The iconic Raad ny Foillan coastal footpath, Manx Gaelic for ‘The Way of the Gull’, runs for 100 miles around the entire Island and offers intrepid sightseers the opportunity to explore the cliffs, wooded glens, open farmland and spectacular coastline that make up the Island’s rural beauty, with castles, local wildlife and beaches to explore along the way. The footpath can be split into manageable sections to be enjoyed over a number of days or visitors can select the ‘best of’ to sample this outstanding route – these are highlighted in the directory at the back of this guide.

Visitors can scale the Island’s 25 summits over 1,000ft from a selection of eight different walking routes. The Manx uplands offer remote walking and the chance to see some exceptional viewpoints, natural beauty and wildlife.
