A Hidden Gem

Idyllically located in the middle of the Irish Sea between England and Ireland, the Isle of Man truly is a hidden gem.

With its abundant fields and hilly landscape the Isle of Man is a nature lover’s dream. Easily accessible by both sea and air, it’s also one of the safest places in the British Isles and a beautiful place to call home, offering the space you need to thrive. As a self-governing country, the island has strong ties to the UK. Blessed with extensive hillsides across its 33 miles, boasting a total of 47 named hills, Snaefell is its only mountain.

Glen Auldyn sits just a stone’s throw away from the coastal town of Ramsey in the North, the second largest town on the Island. Situated just a 25 minute drive from Douglas and ferry services, Ramsey is famed for being the start of the Snaefell Mountain Course, used for the Manx Grand Prix and Isle of Man TT. Nestling on the northeastern coast, Ramsey features a beautiful harbour where you can pick up cruises along the coastline to Laxey and Douglas, taking in the spectacular high cliffs at Bulgham, the Dhoon Valley, Port Cornaa and Port Mooar, rounding the Maughold Head with its famous seal colony and lighthouse. Precious ancient monuments also sit around Ramsey, particularly Cashtal yn Ard just to the south, the largest Neolithic tomb in the UK.
