Isle of Man

Cregneash is a small village and tourist destination in the extreme south-west of the Isle of Man. Most of the village is now part of a living museum run by Manx National Heritage. Annual Manx festivals are held in Cregneash and it is home to a flock of the rare four-horned Loaghtan sheep, a group of Primitive Sheep native to the Isle of Man.

Thank you Thomas!

Peel Harbour

Peel is sometimes referred to as the only city on the Isle of Man thanks to its being home to the island’s only cathedral. In fact, it is the third largest town on the island after Douglas and Ramsey. Peel is the most active fishing port on the Isle of Man. It is also a major port for the importation of fuel oils and does host the occasional cruise ship visit. Situated on the west coast, Peel also has a comprehensive fish and shellfish processing industry and is home to the traditional art of kipper curing with guided tours organised for visitors throughout the curing season.

Thanks a lot Zoe!

The Isle of Man Mountain Course holds a unique place in the hearts of all motorcyclists; a demanding but thrilling throwback to an era of racing long-since past which provides the sternest of tests for man and machinery. The annual TT and Grand Prix races see a phalanx of professional and amateur racers descend upon the island to test their mettle against the demanding roads, in what are hugely important dates in the island's tourism calendar, drawing in tens of thousands of fans.The motorcycle TT Course is used principally for the Isle of Man TT Races and also the separate event of the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling for the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT Races held in September of each year. The clockwise course has a lap of 60.72 km from the start line at the TT Grandstand on Glencrutchery Road in the island's main town of Douglas.

Thanks a lot Zoe!

Flags of the World - Isle of Man

The flag of the Isle of Man is a triskelion, composed of three armoured legs with golden spurs, upon a red background. It has been the official flag of Mann since  1932 and is based on the Manx coat of arms, which dates back to the 13th century. The three legs are known in Manx as ny tree cassyn 'the three legs'. The triskelion is an ancient symbol, used by the Mycenaeans and the Lycians.

Thanks a lot Rasa!
