Isle of Man - The Celtic Isle 2025

ISLE OF MAN - THE CELTIC ISLE

 

9 – 13 April 2025

Wednesday - Sunday

5 Days

From £619

 

The Isle of Man has over 200 square miles of beautiful unspoilt countryside and coastline with little coves and superb beaches.  Our base is the island capital Douglas, with its delightful promenade, Victorian pier, and specialist shops.  With excursions to both north and south of the island, featuring three different Manx railways, not forgetting the ride up Snaefell, we feel this will be a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday.
