It is a dependency of the British Crown, just like the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. This means that the island has its own government, its own laws and even its own parliament.
Summer is perfect for exploring the beaches, hiking coastal trails, and attending local events! Winter, on the other hand, offers a more relaxed experience and more affordable prices.
It is slightly more expensive than mainland UK. This is reflected in the prices of accommodation, food and transport.
We chose to stay in Port St. Mary, a charming village in the south of the island. However, other great options are Douglas and Ramsey.
Visit the Great Laxey Wheel, Castle Rushen and Peel Castle. Learn about the island's culture and history at the Manx Museum. Hike The Chasms Trail.
