Why the Isle of Man?
Douglas is the capital of The Isle of Man and is a pretty seaside town with a great deal of Victorian architecture that features a beautiful old seaside promenade. The Isle of Man itself offers lovely scenery and is a great location for short breaks giving you a chance to blow away the cobwebs with some invigorating sea air. Enjoy walks along the beaches and cliff tops, and don't forget the famous annual Isle of Man TT motorcycle race with its hair raising course of tight bends.
