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.

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
18:31 Ramsey Harbour
Town on the MANX Electric railway route.
19:22 Port Erin Fish and Chips

I was very surprised, Isle of Man was a real Joy and i cant express how much fun i had and the memories i made. I still feel there are better places to visit, but if you choose Isle of man you will not be disappointed, just hire a car, grab a map and be on your way.

Port Erin - Isle of Man by Drone
Drone Footage of Port Erin - Isle of Man.
The aim is to show there is far more to this island than the TT Races, I love to explore using my Drone and my Motorcycles. My Drone footage even shows me places to re-visit when I view them on the computer screen. Buildings, Valleys, Rivers, Streams, Caves, rock faces that I simply would not know existed until I review this footage. My aim is for you the viewer to also watch these videos and see places that spark that lightbulb moment, they even may make you want to buy a drone and fly the same locations and get closer to those places that I have not yet returned to.

History
Port Erin seafront
The name means either iron port or lord's port. The outer breakwater, visible at low tide only, was an abandoned project constructed in 1863 using the Port Erin Breakwater Railway and saw the first steam locomotive used on the island; a severe storm of 1884 later destroyed the breakwater and it was never rebuilt. Today, a marker buoy shows the extent of the breakwater and the land end is still clearly discernible. To the north-east, by the A7 road, are the earthwork remains of a motte and bailey castle known as Cronk Howe Mooar, possibly the site of a timber fortification built by Magnus Barelegs [Barefoot] c1100.
Geography
The beach is sandy and is bounded by two headlands which (on windy days) funnel the prevailing westerly wind towards the village. On sunny days, the bay acts as a suntrap. One, Bradda Head, has a memorial tower called Milner's Tower. The promenade, which is somewhat higher than the seafront, primarily consists of hotels - mostly built in the Victorian era, although due to changes in taste among tourists, many of these are being converted into flats and apartments. The town is famed for its views including spectacular sunsets over Port Erin Bay and Bradda Head as well as frequent glimpses of the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland in the distance.
Films
The 2006 film Stormbreaker (starring Ewan McGregor) was filmed on Port Erin beach; the town has also been used by various production companies including the BBC whose serialised drama The Ginger Tree was filmed at the railway station in 1989, and the cinematic adaptation of Five Children & It. An episode of the BBC documentary marking 20 years since the end of steam trains in the U.K. The Train Now Departing filmed extensive scenes in and around the station, interviewing the station master in the process. The village has also featured in the holiday series Wish You Were Here...? and Holiday '91 with Judith Chalmers.
Landmarks

Seeking Dracula in Whitby - Whitby Abbey, Whitby Harbour, and St' Mary's Churchyard
Greg and Felicity visit Whitby, England in this short travel video, to find some of the places that Bram Stoker found inspiration for the his book Dracula, including the incredible sight of Whitby Abbey towering over Whitby Harbour.
We look at where in Whitby Dracula was actually inspired, trying to find links to the book in St Mary's Churchyard beside the beautiful sight of the gothic Whitby Abbey sitting proudly above the town of Whitby and overlooking the harbour where Dracula first landed in Whitby in Bram Stoker's novel.
We explore the streets of Whitby up the steps to Whitby Abbey looking out across the bay where Dracula first reached the shore, and then we find the spot where Bram Stoker is said to have sat and made notes on the hill opposite Whitby Abbey as he made notes and thoughts on the story which would become 'Dracula', and even visit the graveyard to see where some of the names from the book were found...
Seeking Dracula in Whitby is a short spin off of our larger travel documentary, 'Romania: Seeking Dracula's Castle'.
