Steam Train & Castletown

3小时

Departing from Douglas, your tour will take you to the south of the Island, passing over the Fairy Bridge where it is considered bad luck to pass over the bridge without greeting the “little people” (the Island is steeped in folklore, and the Islanders are rather superstitious!). Your first stop will be in Castletown, the ancient capital that traces its origins back to around 1090. During your free time, you may wish to visit Castle Rushen, one of the best examples of a medieval castle in the British Isles. Believed to have been built around 1200, the Castle served as a residence of the last Norse King of Man who died in 1265. Part of the Castle was destroyed in a siege by Robert the Bruce in 1313 but was rebuilt by Sir William de Montacute in around 1344. In the Clock Room, formerly used as the castle chapel, lies a clock presented by Queen Elizabeth I in 1597 while she held the Island in trust pending a dispute. The turret clock is of simple construction and now has a single-handed dial and still keeps very good time. Alternatively, enjoy some free time to explore the centre of the town, characterised by its narrow streets and small fishing cottages. Re-joining your bus, transfer to Castletown’s train station where you will board a train on the 125-year-old Victorian railway.

Arriving at Douglas train station, re-board your coach for the transfer back to the Sea Terminal to board your tender back to the ship.

After a comfort break in Castletown we visit Chapel Hill Balladoole and then follow part of the ‘Raad ny Foillan’ – the Way of the Gull – the Isle of Man’s long distance coastal footpath around Scarlett Head to see coastal birds, plants, limestone outcrops and volcanic rocks and back to Castletown. The exposed southern coast here is full of historic sites and there are traces of ancient forts and chapels, countryside properties and farms, a WWII radar station and the quarry which provided stone for the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral in London. The historic highlights of the tour are Chapel Hill, Balladoole (home to a Bronze Age burial, an Iron Age hillfort, a Viking ship burial and Keeill Vael – St Michael’s Chapel) which has extensive views over the south of the Island and the Iron Age and Norse promontory fort at Close ny Chollagh. After a break in Castletown we rejoin the coach and return to Douglas on a route which gives views over ‘the Plains of Heaven’ across the central valley to the northern hills.
