This four-hour tour combines the delight of a vintage steam-railway journey with breathtaking coastal scenery. No visit to the Isle of Man is complete without a ride on the unique Victorian steam-railway with its original locomotives and rolling-stock. The exhilarating walk back to Douglas is a complete contrast passing peacefully through some of the most dramatic coastal scenery within easy reach of Douglas and ending with spectacular elevated views across Douglas Bay. Chris has been providing guided walks for five years and will share with you his intimate knowledge of his Island home.
The tour starts with a ride on the magnificent narrow gauge steam railway built in 1874. At Port Soderick Station we alight for a stroll down a pretty glen to the beach, once a thriving tourist resort, but now reverting to nature. A steep climb leads us onto the Marine Drive, a masterpiece of Victorian engineering for the 4 mile walk back to Douglas. Along the way your guide will explain the history of this facinating stretch of coastline, and with luck we may catch glimpses of some of the wonderful sea-life that visits Manx waters.
