Old Railway
Lines

Disused railway
lines offer delightful easy walking through splendid Manx countryside. The
Heritage trail is a 10.5 (17kms) walk from the Quarterbridge in
Douglas through to Peel. Useful information boards are situated
along the walk as are picnic sites passing through Crosby and St Johns where
there are restaurants and pubs.
 |
The other main railway walk is from Peel, north to Ramsey. The first part of this 16 miles (26kms)
of track is part of the Island's coastal footpath, the Raad
ny Foillan. This follows the old railtrack to Rhencullen, north of Kirk
Michael to where it branches off to the beach heading in a northerly
direction.
Staying with the railtrack footpath continue through pastoral
countryside passing via Ballaugh, then onto the entrance to the Wildlife
Park, along to Sulby before the final stretch onto the northern part of
Ramsey.
Planning this walk offers the opportunity of taking a bus to
Peel, or the Manx Electric Railway to
Ramsey. The track lies fairly near the main
road which is serviced by public transport. |
