Welcome to 2015 everyone I hope you all have had a cracking - TopicsExpress

Welcome to 2015 everyone I hope you all have had a cracking Christmas and a great new year’s, but its back to normality now so I’m here to give you all something to look forward to. Why don’t you join us on our 6 day tour Isle of Man, leaving Sunday 26th April 2015. Blessed with extensive scenic coastlines, stunning natural landscapes and unspoilt beaches, the Isle of Man has something to appeal to everyone, only a short ferry crossing from the British mainland but with a character that sets it apart. The island is a unique self-governing Kingdom, a crown dependency which belongs to neither the UK nor the European Union. It has its own parliament, laws, traditions culture, cuisine and postage stamps. SUNDAY We Travel norrth via the motorways to the Holiday Inn in Lancaster, for an overnight stay. MONDAY We spend the morning at leisure in Lancaster before making our way to the Port of Heysham for the early afternoon crossing to Douglas and the Isle of Man. Once on the island we make the very short journey to the Chesterhouse Hotel on the Douglas seafront, our base for 4 nights. TUESDAY We enjoy a full day’s excursion with a local guide. We visit Laxey for a view of ‘Lady Isabella’ the world’s largest working waterwheel and perhaps the best known image of the island. We then visit Ramsey, the main town to the north of the island. WEDNESDAY We make our way to Laxey where we join the Snaefell Mountain Railway a spectacular climb to the island’s highest point. We then return back to Douglas for an afternoon at leisure in our host resort. THURSDAY We have a tour to the South of the island visiting the ancient capital of Castletown and the wonderfully preserved Castle Rushen. We continue to the south west corner for an included visit to the Cregneash Village Folk Museum. Nearby are the wonderful views around Calf Sound and the village of Port Erin nestling in its scenic bay. FRIDAY After an early breakfast, we make the short transfer back to the ferry terminal ahead of our ferry crossing back to Heysham, before we continue our journey home.
