Follow 'The Way of the Seagull' on a 161 km circumnavigation of the Isle of Man.. This is a walking challenge of approximately 100 miles / 161 km around the Manx Isle. Called the 'Raad ny Foillan' which translates to 'The Way of the Gull', people have been walking segments of this trail for hundreds of years and was first written about as a walk in 1874. It was however in 1986 that the Way was inaugurated at Peel, the cultural heart of the island, and has changed little since. Starting at the Island's largest town, Douglas, the route quickly leaves the built up area behind and follows a quiet coastal road that becomes a cliff top trail towards Castletown. There are tiny glens and bays on the way. From Castletown the route passes around the southern point of the island following dramatic high cliffs and the 'Calf of Man' a small island where tidal races whip around the rocks and seals play. From Port Erin to Peel the way follows the high coastal hills and dales and on a clear day you might see the so called 'realms.' This leads to Peel, the island's only city, with more of an Irish feel to it. Next the walk follows the lowering cliffs and joins the line of a defunked railway line to beyond the village of Kirk Michael, where you actually join the beach and walk around Jurby Head. Over the next day the coast path follows the beach round to the old fishing village of Ramsey. From here you wind back up onto the cliffs around Maughold Head with some beautiful coves and glens, to continue on quiet roads to Laxey, famous for its lead mines, and the huge Victorian wheels that used to pump water out of them. The final leg takes in a nature reserve, an ancient church and a final fling on the coastal trail before joining the long Promenade back into Douglas to complete the island loop.

England Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer England tours
Anonymous | Traveled in September
Superb navigation app along with well-chosen route friendlly accomodation with a particular mention to Hillingford B&B in Ramsey. All cases transferred smoothly. We added extra days in Douglas and were grateful for the room upgrade at the Ellan Vannin hotel which was quite busy. The route itself was great but the oath in need of some signage maintenance
Jeanette El | Traveled in September
I took part in this tour as the agenda gave a chance to visit places on my bucket list such as Oxford. I was not disappointed. The tour guide and driver were very professional and as a first time solo traveller I felt comfortable in a small group. I met and made friends on this trip and will look to doing other tours with Back Roads in the future.

The tour was terrific. Paul was a wonderful and engaging guide. He was extremely approachable, caring, fun and knowledgeable; he went over and above expectations by including extra stops at Tintagel and also Dartington Hall. He and Ben went out of their way in getting help for my phone at Truro and also effectively dealt with another passenger who required urgent medical attention.

Even though Heart of England was a short tour there was much depth in it content wise. What we saw and experienced we did in detail, it was not fleeting. Terry Gibson our tour guide and Phil our driver, Terry's wingman ensured that we gained as much as possible from the trip.
