The Glorious Manx
Electric Railway
Built in 1893, the Manx Electric Railway
boasts the world's oldest regularly operating electric tram cars.
The 18
mile journey from Douglas to the northern
town of Ramsey is regarded as one of the
most scenic in the British Isles, hugging the coast for much of its route with
occasional forays inland through pretty Manx villages.
| Sit back, relax and enjoy the view as
you pass by the glens and hills and around rugged coastlines and clifftops. In
Ramsey Station why not visit the Visitor Centre which recounts the
history of this splendid electric railway. |
 |
Along the way stop off at Laxey and explore the famous Wheel and
mines or connect with the Snaefell Mountain
Railway for a ride to the summit. Alight at Ballaglass and walk one of
the Island's prettiest glens. From Ballajora walk to the fascinating village of
Maughold.
This tramway uses original rolling stock and perfectly sets
the style for a relaxed exploration of the northeastern coast of the Isle of
Man. |
