A step back in time and a very interesting visit and must see attraction. Beautiful old church, set in the centre of a graveyard covered by trees and surrounded by colourful flowers and fauna and just off the TT track. A plethora of very interesting headstones and exhibits within the church and grounds to astound and puzzle. I took some time to sit within the church and enjoy the still peace I found there, just what one needs after a busy day.

Step back in time to experience Victorian railway comfort. Great day out. An hour’s ride from Douglas gets you to Port Erin after passing through some lovely countryside, stopping at quaint stations and getting enticing views of the sea Love the sound of the engine chugging along, the piercing whistle and the smell of coal smoke Well worth a visit. And bring a piicnic for the journey

The volunteers who run this lovely attraction are friendly & full of information. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. I can see why the victorians loved them so much. It was exciting watching a boat ????????♀️ trundle into the harbour as we followed its progression. Well done the Victorian Society of the Isle of Man.

My wife and I enjoyed seeing the tower lit up in its many coloured lights in the evenings that we were on the promenade.
