YOUR ITINERARY
Tuesday | An early morning departure for the group today as we head across to Heysham to meet the ferry for an afternoon sailing to Douglas. The driver will ensure that appropriate comfort breaks are taken a long the way. Upon your arrival at Douglas the coach will take you the short drive to the Rutland Hotel.
Wednesday | We join the Isle of Man Steam Railway train from Douglas to Port Erin, the line was once part of an extensive network that connected most of the island, but is now a 15-and-a-half-mile narrow-gauge run, via the former island capital, Castletown, to beautiful Port Erin. We then re-join our coach and make a stop in Creigneash, before heading to The Sound, a protected nature reserve with seabird and seal colonies as well as an excellent café with fabulous views across to the Calf of Man.
Thursday| Today is at leisure to relax and explore. Nestled along the east coast of the Isle of Man, the small holiday resort of Douglas oozes charm. Visitors can enjoy horse-drawn tram rides along its pedestrian shopping promenade, visit some of the independent boutiques and High Street shops, or enjoy the gardens and museums sprinkled throughout the town.
Friday | We take a trip on the historic Manx Electric Railway, which still uses its original Victorian and Edwardian rolling stock. From Douglas, our train journeys along the scenic east coast with views of the beautiful Manx countryside on one side and far-reaching vistas beyond the stunning cliffs on the other. We disembark in Laxey to visit the Laxey Wheel, the largest working waterwheel in the world and known colloquially as the Lady Isabella. Admire this feat of Victorian engineering as we watch the mighty wheel turn and can even climb to the top for panoramic scenes from across the Glen Mooar Valley.
Saturday | An early Breakfast before we transfer to join our 08:45am return crossing to Heysham and onwards back to Lincolnshire. Upon your arrival at Boston you will then be met by your door to door service driver who will complete your journey.
