Intro 0:00
0:32 Peel Castle
A Viking stronghold, Peel Castle stands on St Patrick's Isle, linked to the town of Peel by a causeway. The rugged coastline and the ruins of the castle outer walls make this an interesting stop.
02:00 Niarbyl Bay
Down a long winding lane, past the cafe and steep hill, you arrive at Niarbyl Bay.
Secluded and quaint, you suddenly feel like a fisherman from years gone by.
03:14 The Calf of Man
Calf of Man is a 2.50-square-kilometre island, off the southwest coast. It is separated from the Isle of Man by a narrow stretch of water called the Calf Sound.
There is a cafe and some rugged walking trails too keep you occupied, and on some days you can see the seals basking on the rocks
04:28 Cregneash
A small charming village with a tourist museum, seen on map above.
Home to a flock of the rare four-horned Loaghtan sheep, much of the village is made up of a living museum with the small white cottages forming the exhibits. Inside the victorian farming and fishing equipment is displayed and demonstrated.
05:31 Isle of Man Steam Railway
Starting in Douglas and steaming east to Port Erin via Castletown this narrow gauge railway is a must do attraction. The scenery is stunning and is a superb way to spend an hour or so chugging along the countryside.
07:47 CastleTown
CastleTown is the former Capital of Manx, and is home to Rushen Castle. The narrow streets and fishing cottages make this a delightful place to walk around.
It also holds the annual world tinbath championships.
09:41 Ballaglass Glen
lovely glen to walk through, a nice wooded area with the river flowing through the middle of it with some fantastic waterfalls, and there’s a fairy house hidden along the river too. Plenty of quirks for kids too like the wizard statue along one of the paths.
11:25 Douglas
11:45 Laxey Wheel and Mine
Built in 1854 to pump water from the attached mine, Lady Isabella as she is known is the largest surviving wheel of its kind in the world.
14:07 Manx Electric Railway
Running from Douglas to Ramsey via Laxey this has to be the most picturesque heritage railway (tramway) I have ever been on.
Starting in Laxey and part of the Manx Electric Railway, the
14:29 Snaefell Mountain Railway
offers daily services to the summit.
15:03 Laxey Beach
17:45 Laxey to Ramsey Manx Railway

Sulby Reservoir - Isle of Man
Sulby Reservoir - Isle of Man by Drone

Isle of Man shown at its most beautiful by DJI Phantom 4 Pro Drone.
This video is special please share, like, comment and subscribe.
Dam
The reservoir's dam was completed in 1982. It has a rock-fill embankment 73 metres (240 ft) high.
Geography
It is located in Sulby Glen near the source of the Sulby River, the longest river on the island. It is at the foot of Druidale, Glen Crammag, and a third, unnamed minor valley. It is at the junction of three parishes: Michael, Lezayre and Braddan. Sulby Reservoir is also about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the summit of Snaefell, the island's highest peak. It is operated by the Isle of Man Water Authority.
Use
The reservoir supplies St Johns, Peel, Kirk Michael, Ballaugh, Andreas, Bride, Ramsey and Laxey. Water can also be pumped to the West Baldwin Reservoir which supplies Douglas and the south of the island.
The reservoir also powers a hydro-electric power station one mile (1.6 kilometres) downstream. (Water flows through a pipeline from the reservoir to the power station. The power station is also fed by another, smaller reservoir, Block Eary.)
An energy recovery system was installed at the Sulby Water Treatment Works in 2013, to generate hydro-electric power from incoming water.
Parish Walk 2018 - Isle of Man
Parish Walk 2018 - Isle of Man
Sheadings and parishes
The Isle of Man is divided into six sheadings which are further divided into seventeen parishes each with its own parish church. The original Parish Walk involved touching the door (and then later the gate) at each parish church but this practice has been phased out. The course takes walkers from the National Sports Centre in Douglas past the first two parish churches, Braddan and Marown, without recording their progress.
The first church at which you will be registered as reaching is Santon (if you do not reach Santon you will not be included in the race results). The same process is repeated at Malew, Arbory, Rushen and Patrick. The next parish on the course is German where the parish church of St German in Peel became a cathedral in 1980. For many years the recording point has not been at the church / cathedral gates but on the other side of the road at Peel Town Hall. Peel is the furthest point to which under 21 year old entrants are allowed to compete and until 2006 it was the official finishing point for all women and also men aged 40 or more (although these entrants could opt to continue).
By tradition, most people will refer to retiring at or continuing beyond Peel rather than the parish name, German.
Walkers continue on to the parishes of Michael, Ballaugh, Jurby, Bride, Andreas, Lezayre, Maughold, Lonan and Onchan where they will be electronically registered at each church gate. Onchan is the 17th and final parish and so you may think it would be mission accomplished at this church however, to be a Parish Walk finisher, you will have to walk more than two miles further to the finish line next to the war memorial on Douglas promenade.
The start and finishing positions have also evolved over the years. In 1960 the start was at St Georges Church (not one of the 17 parish churches) and finished in the Villa Marina gardens hence it was almost a lap of the Isle of Man incorporating the seventeen parish churches. To improve safety, the course has been diverted (and extended) in places with a corresponding change in the starting position to the National Sports Centre in Douglas (to maintain the traditional 85 mile course length) with the finish on the opposite side of the road to the Villa Marina.
Manx Harriers - organising club
Manx Harriers are organising the Parish Walk for the 27th year in 2018. Between 1960 and 1964 the Parish Walk was organised by the Manx Amateur Athletic Association (later renamed Manx Athletic Club). Boundary Harriers revived it in 1967 and continued to organise it until 1991.
Since 1991 club teams have competed in the Northern Track & Field Leagues, its athletes have won numerous medals in Lancashire Cross Country and Track & Field Championships, its walkers have gained individual and team medals at national championships and in 2011 the club recorded its highest ever position in the National Cross Country Championships. Individual athletes have excelled at national and international level, represented the Isle of Man in the Commonwealth and won countless medals in the Island Games. The diversity of the club means that it has continued to promote what was the Manx Athletic Club’s Easter Festival (the famous runner Ron Hill was the guest of honour for the 50th event in 2012) attracting hundreds of visiting athletes, whilst promoting track & field, road running, cross country and race walking, to which everyone on the Isle of Man is invited to join in, and providing an outlet for youngsters to receive expert tuition from the club’s unpaid but highly qualified coaches.
The satisfaction that the club and its members derive from organising the Parish Walk for the walkers goes even deeper than witnessing so many personal achievements that walkers remember for a lifetime.
Every year hundreds of walkers raise thousands of pounds for their favourite charities and for the past few years there is an added incentive of, for those that so desire, of being part of a group raising money for one of the official designated charities.

Ramsey Albert Tower Mini Video - Isle of Man
Ramsey Albert Tower Mini Video - Isle of Man
The tower was built to commemorate the royal visit of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria on the 20th of September in the year 1847. Prince Albert was rowed ashore at Ballure where he made his way up the glen. Then into Lhergy Frissel, where he climbed to the top of the hill. There he viewed the surrounding town of Ramsey and the northern plain. The hill was renamed Albert Mount and a year later the foundation of the tower was laid. Made of granite and rising 45 feet high, the tower would stand as a landmark not only for the town of Ramsey, but also for the Isle of Man.
