... Isle Of Man
Motorbike and motor racing: The Isle of Man is regarded by many as the road racing capital of the world, hosting a number of prestigious and unusual events. The most famous of these is the annual TT Ramsey Sprint , the Southern 100 in July, and the Manx Grand Prix Manx National Car Rally , the Manx International Car Rally (considered one of the most challenging races in the UK), the International Hill Climb Championships and the Manx Classic (especially for vintage cars). The varied terrain, sometimes mountainous and with sharp bends, adds to the challenge and excitement of the races.
Sailing: Round the Island Yacht Race , but there are many other races and trials. Dinghy racing is growing in popularity; regular races are held on Sundays during the summer at Port St Mary Bay and Ramsey Bay and in winter at Baldwin reservoir.
Walking: Beautiful, unspoilt countryside and a wide variety of landscapes make the island an excellent walking destination. Sand dunes, marshes, heathland, hills and coastal grassland are all features of its geography. There are several well-marked trails of varying lengths. These include the new 28 mile- (45km-)

    About the Isle of Man Back to the index Chapter One
    A PROFILE Geography
    The Isle of Man is in the Irish Sea, right at the centre of the British Isles. It is shaped like a lozenge slightly tilted, and is 33 miles long and 13 miles wide. Its centre consists of old eroded mountains up to 2000 feet, which provide wonderful hill walking. It is green and very beautiful, with mountains and fells, deep glens, miles of sandy beaches, cliffs and little creeks. It is much bigger than most visitors imagine before they actually come. Its countryside is not dissimilar to that of Cumbria, or of Galloway. The nearest adjacent land is Scotland, some 16 miles north. Cumbria, in North west England is 22 miles away, and County Down, Ireland is 25 miles away. It is approximately 80 miles south east to Liverpool, and the same distance south west to Dublin. Glasgow is a little further to the north. (It is about 300 miles to London). The nearest big city is Belfast. The climate is Maritime North Atlantic. The Gulf Stream ensures that it is mild but wet. It rarely snows (except on the mountains) and is never hot. It does get a lot of wind and rain, especially in the winter. It is noted in Victorian guides that Manx people never learn to skate! It is actually on the same latitude as northern British Columbia. Wildlife As in Ireland, there are no snakes or toads. Since St Patrick never came to the Isle of Man (the St Patrick commemorated in St Patrick's Isle, Peel, is the Patrick of Kirk Patrick just outside Peel, and almost certainly refers to a later indigenous saint bearing the same name), the absence of these creatures cannot be attributed to divine intervention. Similarly there are no foxes, (though some misguided idiot tried to introduce them surreptitiously recently) or badgers or moles or squirrels. The Isle of Man is rich in bird life, however.
