Castletown was once the capital of the Isle of
Man and is dominated by the magnificent fortress of Castle Rushen,
home to the Kings and Lords of Mann for many centuries. In the
past few years the castle has been restored and now offers the visitor an
insight into what life was like within its vast walls.

The town has a busy harbour, an open air market, indoor swimming
pool, bowling green and tennis courts. There are heritage sites such as the
Nautical Museum and the old Grammar School, plus two
pedestrianised streets offering a wide range of specialist shops, a number of
comfortable pubs and restaurants, while on the outskirts, towards
Scarlett, some splendid walks can be enjoyed. |
