@@MemorySeekers I hope you are able to return at some point.

yes it was early life for bee gees. but robin Gibb had a house here. not sure if his wife still has it. I saw robin at the villa marina doing a small concert for a children's charity. he did a lovely concert but looked very thin. thinner than normal. I commented to my daughter after the concert saying he didn't look well. he died about 12months after. had the Manx flag on the back of his coffin. we now got a statue on Douglas seafront of the bee gees. looks good.

The commentary was just right (although Lougtan sheep are pronounced "Lochton, not Low Town!). I am amazed at how much you where able to fit in over two days. Our family spent many happy holidays on the island just after the war and my parents retired to Colby in in the Eighties. My sister and i are retuening for a nostalgic trip down memory lane in May, taking the ferry from Liverpool and meeting up with old friends. If you go back I would recommend both Port Erin and Port St Mary, Colby Glen and a closer look at Castletown. Thanks for the memories and keep up the great work

Very pretty tour - it's one place I know just about zero about, but my ears pricked up when you mentioned FREE PARKING!! I'd really like to know about what makes the IoM unique and how it differs from England? Do they have VAT, did you notice any differences, are the holidays the same, when are the TT Races (in case you want to avoid them) - is it closer to the Channel Islands in governance (?) than England - how do you get there, and how does it compare in size, to say Jersey or the Isle of White! Do they have their own currency? (Sorry, as I said I know Nothing!) I do like the idea of all the heritage rail you took, that looks like a lovely way to explore and the coastline looks very unspoilt and quite dramatic - and was the ice cream good? I remember years ago being heartbroken when I went to Jersey & there wasn't a genuine Jersey ice cream to be had - I hope that's no longer true! (Just wonder if the short-horn pigs are related to the Aussie Drop Bears? 😉) You guys do a great job - I know you go all over, but the British Isles really is blessed with some amazing destinations.

For VAT they are the same as UK but not part of UK , holidays the same as far as I am aware. TT is usually around the end of May you need to google for exact dates, The Island is a self-governing British Crown Dependency so just like Jersey but Isle of Wight is part of the UK not the same at all. They have the Manx Pound that is the same as sterling but cannot be spent off the isle. You can use GBP in IOM fine though. You can fly from a number of airports in the UK or take a ferry. ☺

Albert Tower I had not heard of but looks like great views back over Ramsey. Earmark that one for next time! Thanks for the extra info.

Absolutely charming. Have seen the videos more critical of the current neglect, and the complaints are valid. With any place, we must take the positives and negatives and hope the net is in the black. Seems overall that is the case with the IOM, but I can also understand why one would criticize the lack of care from municipalities, who inherited such natural and historical grandeur. Fascinated with the Isle before I knew of the TT- but admit that it is a bucket list event- the location makes it.

BTW, that's not a mine 'shaft', it's an adit, a mine shaft is a vertical mine entrance, I know as I am a Canadian retired underground miner.

Hey thanks :) hope you are joining our adventures and subscribing! All the best Si

Great video , i would love to visit one day , the only problem i live in Glasgow Scotland and it can be awkward to travel to , i would need to get a train to Lancaster then a long 3 hour Ferry which is expensive, dont think there are direct flights from Scotland anymore.😢

Direct flights might be seasonal or you can get a flight to Belfast and connect to IOM it takes 2hr 20 mins with connection. Be cheaper and quicker than the ferry. May be an option?

Did you step on the fault line?

I went in August and was also able to use my English Heritage card to access sites.

Welcome thank you for joining us 😊

I am interested in this island but I don't find much, do you know or do you know some kind of traditional island festivities? or someone who talks about it from an anthropological point of view?

Hello not sure I can be of much help here. Someone else might comment on this post. www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/hist1900/index.htm this link gives some detail of the history of the island. I could not find much on tradition and this link is more modern festivities en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_festivals_in_the_Isle_of_Man. Hope it helps in some way.

would have like to see cemeteries!! I have an ancestor buried there named CUNNINGHAM

You have to go and look for Cunningham yourself, love.
