We depart local pick ups and travel to Heysham for the ferry crossing to the Isle of Man and travel onto our hotel.
Excursion 1
We board the Isle of Man Steam Railway for a single leg journey to Port Erin. The line stretches for just under 16 miles, with a highest point of 588 feet. In Port Eris we re-join the coach and return to Cregneash where we visit the Village Folk Museum, a unique living history museum. The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure in Douglas.
Excursion 2
Enjoy a coach excursion following the TT course to Tynwald Hill, home of the Manx Parliament, the oldest in the world having been established by the Vikings 1000 years ago. We continue to Peel where mystery and suspense prevail as you learn the secrets of Peel Castle, which sits ceremoniously at the entrance to the harbour.

Today we have included an Isle of Man Explorer Pass which includes a horse-drawn tram, vintage railway and island bus service.
