Geo-Trips :: Manx'd: Day Three (b)
Ramsey
A walk from St Paul's Church, Wed, 25 Oct 2023 by Basher Eyre
preceding leg | This trip is part of a series. | next leg |
No-one I knew had ever been to the Isle of Man (this obviously excludes Geograph Hunters, who have been EVERYWHERE) My mum and sister have been to just about every major tourist destination in the world. But Mum can no longer fly, so they looked round for somewhere you could reach by ferry. And what a gem we found. Our family quite often visits the Isle of Wight but Ellan Vannin took it to a whole new level. Today, after our delightful trip on the Snaefell Mountain Railway, we went to Ramsey. While my mum and sister spent their customary three hours in the church I did a quick toot round Ramsey. It was my favourite place of the whole trip.
