The Triskelion is visible on the front of the wheel. However it is backwards; this happened by accident when transferring the image on to the wall, they forgot to reverse the image so it is actually a mirror image of the authentic Three Legs of Mann

This is the best of Laxey, Snaefell and Ramsey segment of the Isle of Man episode of DIY Destinations. The host Charles Huang will visit all the iconic landmarks, The Great Laxey Mine, including the world famous Laxey Waterwheel, the largest working waterwheel in the world.

We'll also take the Snaefell Mountain Railway to visit the the summit of highest peak on the Isle of Man. First in operation in 1895, the railway operates from March to November. The 8 km long railway, is built to 3 ft 6 in gauge and uses a Fell Incline Railway System centre rail for braking on the steep gradients. It is electrified using overhead wires at 550 volts direct current, with bow collectors. Lastly, we'll take the electric tram to visit the town of Ramsey and main attraction, the Grove Museum. Built by the Gibbs, a wealthy merchant family from Liverpool as their summer retreat. Later it became the permanent family home. The Gibb sisters, Alice and Janet continued to live in the house until their deaths in the 1970’s.
The Great Laxey Wheel, Laxey, Isle of Man
High above Laxey sits a monument to the Industrial Revolution and the Mining Industry across the Island. The Great Laxey Wheel or Lady Isabella was built in 1854 to pump water out of one of the deepest Mine shafts of the Great Laxey Mines. Its success shaped Laxey and reminders of this time are all around the village.
It stands as one of the iconic attractions of the Isle of Man and still runs today, and as per years before, you can visit the wheel courtesy of Manx National Heritage, and learn more about the mining industry of the time.
In part 2 we will visit Laxey from the sea.
