Despite its size, I find something new every time I visit. The last time it was the delights of the Herring Way. The time before, the part of the Coast Path between Port St Mary and Port Erin. Every time different. Where else can you walk from the coast, through woods, dales and glens before reaching a mountain – all within a 3 hour walk? And what better time to experience walking on the Island than the Walking Festival? Because here, you’re not just visiting for the walking, you’ve got entertainment laid on too. A complete package holiday with walking as its theme. Stunning scenery, fascinating history and the most friendly of people – it’s certainly time for another visit to the Isle of Man… Andrew White Senior Editor/Producer - Walks Around Britain Gradings: How easy is this walk?

    THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a Newsletter Primarily for the Model Railway Fraternity

    THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a newsletter primarily for the model railway fraternity Volume 6 no 5 May 2018 Editor: David Cairns e-mail: [email protected] Website for back copies: [email protected] Phone: +27 82 653 5642 Editorial This month’s North Star Chronicles is a bit of a cheat insofar as the primary feature is the Isle of Man and the meat of the article thereon was written while I was editor of the Workbench, the newsletter of the Durban Society of Model Engineers. In my defence I cite the fact that I was away for much of April so time to draft a new NSC was limited. Be that as it may, the subject is dear to my heart. For those interested in railways, particularly steam operated narrow gauge ones, and tramlines, and who are looking for a prototype to model which runs on either 32mm or 45mm track, look no further. I highly recommend a visit to the Island. One piece of advice, do so in the British ‘summer’ and take an umbrella and raincoat. It rains a lot on the Isle of Man! The Isle of Man Located in the middle of the Irish Sea, from the top of the highest ‘mountain’ (formerly accessible by tram) on a clear day the 4 home countries of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Island are visible. The Isle of Man was originally settled by Celts and Vikings. It is difficult to find the exact words to describe the island but time capsule is certainly apt with respect to some of its transport facilities.

  • Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View

    Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View

    37 Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View Kay Muhr In this chapter I will discuss place-name connections between Ulster and Man, beginning with the early appearances of Man in Irish tradition and its association with the mythological realm of Emain Ablach, from the 6th to the I 3th century. 1 A good introduction to the link between Ulster and Manx place-names is to look at Speed's map of Man published in 1605.2 Although the map is much later than the beginning of place-names in the Isle of Man, it does reflect those place-names already well-established 400 years before our time. Moreover the gloriously exaggerated Manx-centric view, showing the island almost filling the Irish sea between Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, also allows the map to illustrate place-names from the coasts of these lands around. As an island visible from these coasts Man has been influenced by all of them. In Ireland there are Gaelic, Norse and English names - the latter now the dominant language in new place-names, though it was not so in the past. The Gaelic names include the port towns of Knok (now Carrick-) fergus, "Fergus' hill" or "rock", the rock clearly referring to the site of the medieval castle. In 13th-century Scotland Fergus was understood as the king whose migration introduced the Gaelic language. Further south, Dundalk "fort of the small sword" includes the element dun "hill-fort", one of three fortification names common in early Irish place-names, the others being rath "ring­ fort" and lios "enclosure".

  • Eight Hour Coastal Tour

    Eight Hour Coastal Tour

    Eight Hour Coastal Tour To start this coastal tour, you will be picked up at the Sea Terminal and driven north along Douglas Promenade, around Onchan Head and along the coast road to Groudle Glen. Groundle Glen After a short time spent relaxing, walking in the Glen and taking in the sea views, we drive on towards Laxey. Laxey After spending a little while wandering around Laxey’s quaint waterfront, we set off North along the coastal road stopping at Dhoon Glen. Dhoon Glen Dhoon Glen is picturesque but the walk down to the sea is very steep. Some people may find it too difficult to walk back, so if you are a little unsteady on your feet or prone to get tired on steep walks you may wish to stay on the higher level of the Glen. For those who are a little fitter, the walk down to the sea has its rewards. The Glen is only small but very beautiful and boasts a small waterfall. When we leave Doon Glen, we carry on north toward Ramsey, passing through Glen Mona village and the parish of Margould. Ramsey Ramsey is the second largest town on the Isle of Man and has quite a nice choice of shops. You may wish to spend a little time here browsing through the many small shops along the high Street (Parliament Street). You will also get the chance for a little refreshment in one of the town’s cafes or pubs. When we leave Ramsey, we travel further north to the Point of Ayre Lighthouse.
