Isle of Man - Activities - Walking

 

The Isle of Man is the perfect place for walking and hiking. We have over 200 footpaths to offer visitors, through more than 300 miles of unchanged countryside and unspoilt beaches - ideal for ramblers and walkers of all ages and abilities. 

From the long distance Raad ny Foillan (Road of the Gull) coastal footpath and the island-long Millenium Way, to others including Bayr ny Skeddan (Herring Road) and the old Railway Lines.  Shorter paths running through villages, towns and through the country-side.

 

The biggest local annual walking event is the popular Manx Telecom Parish Walk.  The Parish Walk gets its name as it passes through every parish on the Isle of Man, a total distance of 85 miles (137 km). Full detail can be found on www.parishwalk.com.

There is also the Isle of Man Walking Festival offering a range of walks of differing difficulties and lengths which are graded individually to suit walkers of all abilities.
