Isle Of Man

A self-governing English dependency in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland, the Isle of Man features over 100 miles of rugged coastline with cliffs and sandy beaches. The island is hilly, with a mountainous center and narrow glens, waterfalls, and woodlands. The capital city of Douglas features landmarks such as the Tower of Refuge, while Douglas Head, which overlooks the harbor, is the best spot on the island for stunning views. There are several notable castles on the island, with the former capital Castletown being the most popular. A visit to the Manx Museum will be enlightening to understand the island's history better, as it covers 10,000 years of island history.
