Catch the Manx Electric Railway (MER) from Douglas along the coast to Laxey, where we change on to the Snaefell Mountain Railway (SMR) for the breathtaking spiralling 30-minute climb to the 2036' summit of Snaefell, the island's highest peak. If it's a clear day, we take in views of much of the island, as well as surrounding nations, and enjoy refreshments in the cafe. Our descent on foot passes the TT course at the Bungalow (1300'), crossing to old Snaefell mine and along the miners' trail to the remote and scenic village of Agneash, then down to Laxey station - 5 miles in total. (Alternatively, if feeling in good shape we can climb the mountain and ride down!) Our final leg takes us back to Douglas on the MER. I never tire of climbing Snaefell!
- Manx Electric Railway from Douglas to Laxey (30 mins); wonderful coastal scenery. - Change tramcars at Laxey station to Snaefell Mountain Railway - Ascend on SMR to summit of Snaefell (30 mins) with superb hill views. - After refreshments and viewing at top, a 5 mile walk descending via Agneash village back to Laxey. - MER from Laxey back to Douglas (30 mins). - NB. Tour only operates April - October; trams do not run in winter months.
