| Welcome to the Isle of
Man |

Presented in collaboration with the Department of Tourism and
Leisure

Peel is considered by many to be the most 'Manx'
of all towns - with the historic St Patrick's Isle.
The town is perfect
for exploring with its many tiny lanes, full of character, leading from the
working harbour which for decades was one of the principal centres of the Manx
fishing industry. To this day, fishing is still a major activity in the town,
known as Sunset City, because of the stunning sunsets which highlight
Peel Castle and the ruins of St German's Cathedral on St Patrick's
Isle.
Peel lays claim to being one of the world's smallest cathedral
cities with just 3800 residents.
Narrow lanes, specialist and antique
shops.... even a chocolate factory all combine to make Peel a rare
experience
Peel's new heritage centre is the House of Manannan
where the visitor will be able to discover more about the fascinating Story
of Mann, thanks to a whole host of exciting interactive presentations of
the Island's dramatic past. |
