A secret tax haven? Exploring Douglas, ISLE OF MAN

In this video, I explore Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man is a small island situated between Great Britain and Ireland, in the Irish Sea.

Despite its location, or perhaps because of it, the Isle of Man is a bit off the traditional tourist trail, which lends a bit of mystique to it. I wanted to see for myself what the island and its capital looks like.

After all, it has a reputation for being a tax haven (i.e. low effective taxation rates) and offshore banking destination, inhabited by cats with no tails and home to a big motorcycle race – so lots of interesting stuff to explore and learn about! Let’s go!

Is Isle of Man Worth It? | 24 HOUR VISIT | Days Before the TT

In our continuing attempt to visit 50 countries, we decided to look a little closer to home to see where we were missing. Low and behold, Isle of Man sat waiting for us! We used the Steampacket Ferry from Liverpool to cross over to this quiet and peaceful island. We really had no idea what to expect and to be honest, I don't think either of our expectations was incredibly high. HOWEVER, we were beyond pleasantly surprised to find that we loved this little country!

We kicked things off by taking the Electric Tram up to Laxey. There we attempted to visit the Laxey Wheel but found it to be under restoration... oh well! We found dinner in Douglas, enjoyed the beach, and turned in so we could catch our early bus the next morning. When we woke we took the bus to Peel! There we climbed a nearby hill, explored Peel Castle, learned about the marine life, and got some famous Davisons ice cream. During our time we also got to explore the town centers, break out our drone and eat some great food. So... 24 Hours in Isle of Man... is it worth going to? 100%, we hope to be going back one day! Maybe next time we will catch the Tourist Trophy/TT?

Tell us, where, in the UK, we should try and go to next! What would you like us to share? What did you think of the video? Leave a comment, like, and subscribe for more!!

The amazing town of Douglas on the Isle of Man

Let's explore the world through Google Street View.

Today we are visiting Douglas in the Isle of Man. What an amazing old city! I was so impressed by the architecture all around the city. It's a small city but it has a lot going for it. Cute shops and restaurants, a great seafront with historic hotels, an electric train, and so much more. I would looove to visit here some day.

Ramsey - Isle of Man

Ramsey - Isle of Man by Drone filmed using a phantom 4 pro to create new and hopefully interesting landscape drone footage

The Isle of Man is located in the middle of the northern Irish Sea, almost equidistant from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland (closest), and Wales (farthest). It is 52 kilometres (32 mi) long and, at its widest point, 22 kilometres (14 mi) wide. It has an area of around 572 square kilometres (221 sq mi). Besides the island of Mann itself, the political unit of the Isle of Man includes some nearby small islands: the seasonally inhabited Calf of Man, Chicken Rock on which stands an unmanned lighthouse, St Patrick's Isle and St Michael's Isle. The last two of these are connected to the main island by permanent roads/causeways.

Ranges of hills in the north and south are separated by a central valley. The northern plain, by contrast, is relatively flat, consisting mainly of deposits from glacial advances from western Scotland during colder times. There are more recently deposited shingle beaches at the northernmost point, the Point of Ayre. The island has one mountain higher than 600 metres (2,000 ft), Snaefell, with a height of 620 metres (2,034 ft). According to an old saying, from the summit one can see six kingdoms: those of Mann, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, and Heaven. Some versions add a seventh kingdom, that of the sea, or Neptune

The Isle of Man - Railways, Castles and Seals - Isle of Man Travel Video

The Isle of Man - Railways, Castles & Seals - Isle of Man Travel Video is our closest to home travel video. Greg made it his mission on the Isle of Man to prove to Felicity that it’s possible to have an adventure without the need to spend many hours on the plane to get there.

On the Isle of Man, Greg got to share his love of history, exploring both Peel Castle and Rushen Castle as well as riding not just on his beloved steam trains but also on the only electric mountain railway tram on the British Isles. While Greg obsessed over his historic railways - from the Isle of Man Railway to the Manx Electric Railway, Felicity found something more to her taste at The Sound, where wild seals live on the rocks beneath and around The Calf of Man Island. The Isle of Man seals were a delight to watch, so much so that we man have gone back a few times...

Only once did they feel the need to escape - from an escape room at Exit Strategy!

Overall the Isle of Man made for a fun filled adventure which we hope you enjoy.
