Heritage Trail, Isle of Man

Isle of Man

16 km / 10 miles

This path follows the old Douglas to Peel railway line, traversing the island from east to west, and parallel to the TT course as far as St John's. The trail follows the Steam Railway Line, but does not start or end where it once did. On the Douglas side it starts at Quarter Bridge and on the Peel side it ends near the car park of the House of Manannan (partly built out of the old railway station). Picnic and information sites are situated along the walk.

There are branches from St John's northwards to Sulby (15 miles) and southwards to Foxdale (1 mile) and with these it offers easy walking amongst picturesque countryside for a total distance of about 27 miles.

There is no publication for this route, but it is shown on OS mapping and is waymarked.
