I love the Isle of Man - it's magic and I think one of the nicest places in the world. Its a quiet peaceful backwater that combined all the best features of the countries around it (England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland) The scenery is very pretty, lovely and green, very much like Ireland and punctuated with narrow glens and featuring rugged coastal scenery. The highest point is 2000 ft. It has to be said that Douglas has seen better days, but is still possibly the best place to stay as it is the only major town and is the centre of the transport system.
You must go for a ride on the steam railway to Port Erin - and the Electric railway to Laxey and Ramsey MUST NOT BE MISSED. It is absolutely unique in the world, an electric railway on which the day to day service is maintained by trams dating from 1893-1906! The line is breathtakingly scenic. Linking the steam railway and the electric railway is something else quite unique in the whole world - a 2 mile long horse drawn tramway!

I went there about five years ago, Douglas is a dump, and most of the resorts have seen better days, it's a place for the oldies now, it's still quite pretty though!
